imo brings ‘Block Screenshot for Calls’ to enhance privacy security

Instant audio-video call and messaging app imo has recently introduced a new feature ‘Block Screenshot for Calls’ with a view to offering enhanced privacy protection and ensuring cyber security for the users.

The feature will help raise awareness about privacy protection among users and comes with lots of benefits for the users including protection of privacy while using the app and reduced possibility of cyberbullying and other forms of cyber-crimes.

‘Block Screenshot for Calls’ is a privacy protection feature which has been designed to offer strong protection against screenshot and recording on user’s video and audio call. When this feature on imo is enabled, offenders cannot take screenshots and do screen/audio recordings during video and audio calls, offering greater security to the users.

For Android, once the feature is activated on a device, the interface of the recorded video call will automatically turn black, and screenshot during the video call will also be disabled. In addition, during both audio and video calls, users will receive alert notifications immediately if anyone attempts to record the audio.

With the increasing internet penetration in the country, healthy online space and cyber security are becoming an issue of concern. Many people nowadays become victims of different cyber offences like cyberstalking, cyberbullying, blackmailing and threatening. Sometimes offenders also record or take images without consent just to misuse those for personal gains. To offer protection from such offences and help the users protect their privacy, imo has come up with ‘Block Screenshot for Calls’ feature for its users.
