ClevGuard Support: Monitor Devices with Others' Permission.

In the era of digital sharing, protecting your privacy on WhatsApp is more important than ever. This video shows you how to block screenshots on WhatsApp using three simple, effective methods—so your private conversations stay that way.

You’ll learn:

  • Method 1: Adjust Privacy Settings — Restrict who can view your profile picture, status, and last seen to reduce the risk.
  • Method 2: Block Specific Contacts — Prevent certain people from viewing your chats or media entirely.
  • Method 3: Use View Once Messages — Send sensitive photos or videos that disappear after one view, which cannot be saved or screenshotted easily.

While WhatsApp doesn’t currently offer a direct screenshot-blocking feature like some other apps, these workarounds help significantly limit exposure and protect sensitive content.

Try tools like KidsGuard for WhatsApp to monitor, manage, and protect your WhatsApp communications in real time—ideal for parents or anyone concerned about secure messaging.
