No matter how you try to take screenshot of someone's WhatsApp profile picture, it won't be possible.

Any social media profile photo, for what?

There is peace of mind being anonymous

Nice one........................................... . .......

I’ve experienced a lot. Even tried my babe’s own and I was still restricted. I kinda like it cos why would someone screenshot another person photo without asking for permission?

It is for security and I think it's okay too.

It's due to security reasons including protecting the privacy of such a person from social media predators.

You can screenshot it with the same phone, if you don’t expand it.

If you expand the pix, the only way to shot it is to use another phone.

You won't be able to get the desired quality though.

I screenshot everything with my Samsung Ultra

lol…protecting you say? People post more personal, more recent pics of themselves in WhatsApp status than in DP. And statuses have no such restrictions. I think it’s a total stupid move to block that. Plus if someone really wanted the DP, grab another phone and take a pic of it. They can never block that

It's been blocked almost a year now if not more than, before you can even save anyone's profile picture when you click on it

I know about this because I trying screenshot my babe profit since then na ask I dey ask her to send me your pix.
Personally I'm cool with the feature

Yes.

Not enough original content
Please take a moment to write a quality post with at least 40 characters

Yes, for awhile now, and it also has voice reading features too.

It doesnt tell you how to activate the feature on whatsapp profile. That information could be very useful.

I take another phone to snap the front screen of the other phone showing the picture.

Haha

Yea that's true. However I can screenshot if it's a group's profile pix

Seems you just started using WhatsApp today

Since the day some guys tracked someone i knew via display pictures, na that day i swear say i can never have a display picture on any social media..

That was before, not anymore. Go and try it again and you'll see that the policy covers that too.

The restriction is not fully secured. I can as well use another phone or camera to snap your profile picture if I need it that badly.

It's cool, I love it

Meanwhile check my signature for your iron rod

Just tried it and it didn't screenshot...





They ain't playing...

😐😐😐

The feature is part of that platform's unique way of protecting the supposed privacy of users even though the United States Intelligence Agencies collaborate with these social media platforms on sharing intelligence. If you post anything obnoxious or detrimental to the internal security of the United States on X or other online platforms, you will be flagged down if you fly into the United States and risk being sent back on the same flight if what you posted randomly is deemed offensive.

A few years ago in the 2010s two British tourists were denied full entry into the United States from the airport simply because they bantered that they were gonna have a "bomb" in the United States. Bomb was used allegorically here for "having a great time in the United States." The story was all over the media outlets.

You dont have a babe if you have to beg for her pics and she refuses. Some of you are dating yourselves.
