Preventing Screenshotting of Ephemeral Content

One of the most significant changes is the company's decision to no longer allow users to screenshot or screen record ephemeral images or videos sent in private messages. This means that if someone sends you a photo or video using the "view once" or "allow replay" features, the other person won't be able to save the content. Additionally, Instagram won't allow users to open "view once" or "allow replay" images or videos on the desktop, ensuring that they can't circumvent the safety measures. This feature will help prevent scammers from sharing explicit content without the user's consent.
