FYI provides two security features to ensure the privacy of our users in their direct chat messages: Screen Security and Block Copy, Forward, Sharing.
Screen Security:
Screen Security prevents users from taking screenshots and screen recordings of text and media shared in your direct messages.
To enable screen security for all your 1-1 chats:
- Open your profile screen
- Tap "Settings"
- Toggle "Screen Security"
- Tap "Confirm" when prompted
All your 1-1 chats should now have a blue lock icon next to the profile photo in the chat.
You can also enable screen security for specific contacts:
- Open your contacts screen
- Select a contact
- Scroll to the bottom of their contact details page and toggle "Screen Security"
- Tap "Confirm" when prompted
Your chat with that user should now have a blue lock next to their profile photo in the chat. All other chats will be unaffected.
