When a user tries to take a screenshot of their profile photo after the most recent version upgrade, a notification that the action has been blocked shows that users can still utilize a camera or auxiliary device to snap their profile picture.
As a result, beta testers can now access the feature that prevents screenshots of profile images starting with version 2.24.4.25. As a result, more users will get access to it in the upcoming days, weeks, or months.
