Notification 'prints' in WhatsApp decieves the users

In recent days, news circulated over the Internet stating that WhatsApp would notify users when there was a screenshot while chatting. With this, the app would work similarly to snapchat, which warns users when their messages are printadas. The news, however, is unlikely. It was published by the website Portal Updated, the Amazon, and cites no source.Google searches by other sites with similar news will not bring significant results. The Portal Updated also did little to give credibility to their own news. Yesterday, the site that circulated the rumor tweeted a picture showing one's audience and thanking readers - something unusual among the most trusted sites. Since then, the site deleted the tweet. It seems, therefore, that it is a rumor published by the site, particularly to increase their audience, but without more concrete evidence that this is a real change. In the absence sources such update would not make sense: WhatsApp does not notify users when their messages are forwarded to others, then notify only the prints would not change anything. In addition, Whatsapp, unlike snapchat, keep records of all conversations (even allowing the users to keep copies on Google Drive).

 We contacted WhatsApp in the United States but, so far, we have not had any answer as to rumor. It was probably why, a few days later, the same site released a similar rumor, according to which the Instagram would have a tool "recent visitors". Similar to the late Orkut, the function allow users to see who has visited your page recently. Just like the previous rumor, it was not accompanied by any sources.UPDATE: The Portal Updated sent a note to Digital Look confirming that both the news about Whatapp as the Instagram were false. According to the portal, the reporter responsible for both news, Hugo Santos, was fired early on Wednesday. The website reported that soon will publish an errata on the situation.
