Tips
- While you'll always receive notifications if someone forwards or takes a screenshot of an encrypted message, you can further configure your notifications so Facebook alerts you of other actions, like someone liking your photo.Thanks
- If you want to take a screenshot without notifying the other person, try using a workaround, such as using another phone to take a photo of your phone's screen. And be aware that other people could use similar methods to take screencaps of your messages!Thanks
