“New update for end-to-end encrypted Messenger chats so you get a notification if someone screenshots a disappearing message,” Mr Zuckerberg wrote along with a screenshot of a conversation with his wife, Priscilla Chan.

Zuckerberg added that the announcement follows an update to the widely used Facebook Messenger platform that allows people to set their messages to disappear.

According to report from independent UK, the feature has so far been rolled out in the United States and is expected to be introduced for Facebook users in Europe in the coming weeks, according to USA Today.

Reports suggested the move by Facebook was in response to concerns around security, and a wider controversy around online safety and rights to free speech.
