Does WhatsApp send screenshot notifications?
No, WhatsApp does not send screenshot notifications. Whether you are taking the screenshot or someone else is taking a screenshot of your messages, photos, or statuses, WhatsApp will not notify you that a screenshot was taken.
How to Block Screenshotting in WhatsApp
Send your message as a "view once" message. If you send a photo or video to another user and don't want them to screenshot it, you can send it as a "view once" message. Messages set to "view once" can only be seen one time, and other WhatsApp users cannot screenshot these messages. Do note, however, that a user can use another phone or a camera to take a picture of your view once message to circumvent this. To send a photo or video as a "view once" message, after attaching the media, tap the icon that looks like the number 1 in a circle. When this button is green, your message will be sent as a "view once" message.
Be careful what you send via WhatsApp. While this won't stop people from screenshotting you, it can reduce the chance of someone screenshotting something you don't want to be saved or spread around. Only send messages on WhatsApp to people you trust. If you're sending messages to people you don't know, never send messages, photos, or videos that you're not comfortable sending.
