This is a welcome development. We expect more update on every app for security reasons. Also, there should be way of abolishing multiple account in same social app. This will curb impersonation.
Welcome to the world of possibility.

GB WhatsApp that's up again? Using the latest version already
Re: Whatsapp Now Offers Protection For Your Profile Pictures by Psoul(m): 8:22am On Jul 02, 2019
Who even told them that the owners of the profile pics want them to be protected. Who told them that we don't want the pictures copied or saved by our friends.

The same Picture that is on the person's Facebook and Instagram. Ppl can still get it from any of the sources. Irrelevant update.

Re: Whatsapp Now Offers Protection For Your Profile Pictures by timay(m): 8:25am On Jul 02, 2019
I like Whatsapp, but I think this is the most irrelevant update.

Why not include some features like themes, available on GBWhatsApp to the official Whatsapp , so that people will stop downloading GBWhatsApp. A lot of cool features are on GBWHATSAPP that the official Whatsapp can copy. But instead, they are updating it with this irrelevant nonsense

Re: Whatsapp Now Offers Protection For Your Profile Pictures by johnaruson(m): 8:29am On Jul 02, 2019
Nonsense, some online banking environment can't take screen shot. Why not add screen shots protection too

Welcome Reader. Popular social network giant owned by Mark Zuckerberg being WhatsApp has released an app update which will stop photo stranger’s or even your close friends from stealing your whatsapp profile pictures.

Before now, you could click on a whatsapp profile picture and choose to copy, save or export the file without the owner of the profile's consent. But things have changed for the better with an update that shows that the WhatsApp company privacy ploicy is more strict and has also removed the feature that allows you to save someone else’s profile pictures.

Aside from screen-shoting munching someone’s profile pic, you’ll no longer be able to save a profile image on whatsapp.

Once you update your WhatsApp to the latest version 2.19.60.26 on beta mode, you will see that profile images or pictures can't be saved again but this won't stop you from saving your whatsapp group image or icons.

So what is your say on it issue??

If I can screenshot it what is now the big deal?
Re: Whatsapp Now Offers Protection For Your Profile Pictures by Olusholasimon(m): 8:29am On Jul 02, 2019
I wonder why WhatsApp can't just look at how GB WhatsApp has been able to develop their own app & do the same.
To be fair, things have not been the same since I decided to change to the normal WhatsApp, it's as if I'm using a new app entirely.
If you've not used GB WhatsApp, you're missing the real deal !

Re: Whatsapp Now Offers Protection For Your Profile Pictures by Sainthommes(m): 8:33am On Jul 02, 2019
Doesn't even make any sense, what happens to screen shooting? Anything that can be viewed on the screen can be captured, I guess they only try to modify their app, not a step towards privacy....
