Does Whatsapp Notify Screenshots?

[Billy_Butcher]

I’m wondering whether WhatsApp notifies users when someone takes a screenshot of their messages, photos, or chats. Could anyone clarify how this works or share their experience?

No, WhatsApp does not notify users when you take screenshots of chats or profiles.

WhatsApp does not notify users when someone takes a screenshot of chats, photos, or profiles. However, screenshots of View Once photos or videos are blocked and cannot be captured on most devices for privacy protection.

WhatsApp does not notify users when you take screenshots of chats, profiles, or regular status updates. However, screenshots of “View Once” photos and videos are blocked or may trigger alerts in some versions. Privacy features continue to evolve, but most screenshot activity remains undetected.

Short answer: no, WhatsApp does not notify screenshots for chats, photos, or profiles. You can screenshot messages without the other person knowing. The only partial exception is view-once photos, but even there, WhatsApp just blocks screenshots instead of notifying.
