Yes, you can disable screenshots in Facebook by activating the Profile Picture Guard on the mobile version. This way, no one will be able to capture any photo on your profile. We have some solutions to restrict screenshot on Facebook on the desktop browser so read on.
How do I activate Facebook screenshot protection?
1. Use Profile Picture Guard
As we mentioned in the note above, the function isn’t available in all regions, but if you’re using Facebook on a browser, there is aChrome extensionthat does the same thing.
2. Hide your profile from strangers
The first Facebook screenshot protection method doesn’t hide your profile from everyone; it only makes it impossible for them to download it. If they finally download or take a screenshot of your profile picture, they can never upload it to Facebook.
The next solution protects your privacy by showing your content to only the chosen people. Depending on your privacy needs, you can use any of these methods.
IfFacebook won’t let you share anything from your PC, click the highlighted link for the proper solutions.
