Messenger: New changes in the app

From now on, you have to be more careful when you go to send a message via Meta's Messenger app because the new changes coming will let the person you're talking to know exactly what you're doing.

Specifically, it will know that floating dots mean you're typing, it will know when you've seen its messages, and it'll even know if you've taken screenshots of conversations that are set to disappear.

Yes, one feature of many messaging apps is the ability to let everything you've sent expire after a certain period of time.

The reasons you want messages to disappear are your own, but when the feature was rolled out to Facebook Messenger, there was a warning from Mark Zuckerberg for those who might try to get around it with a screenshot.

The Facebook founder demonstrated what this would look like in a conversation between him and his wife, Priscilla Chan, where she turned on disappearing messages and then took a screenshot that prompted a notification to be posted in the conversation.
