I have had my Pixel 7 Pro well over a year and have used WhatsApp for about a year. I set my camera to take screenshots when I tap the back of the camera and it works fine except it does not work during a WA call. Can someone please tell me what the problem might be?

Hi,

Taking screenshots during calls should work as there's no option (yet) allowing to do so. However, in your case, I suppose that the chat in the background during your call is preventing screenshots because the "View once" option is enabled.

If you or your contact enabled "View once" on their messages, WhatsApp will block automatically any screenshot attempt. The same applies for statuses set to "My contacts except..." or "Only share with..."

Make sure the options I mentioned aren't enabled and try with other contacts to see if you notice the same behavior.

Well, no. "View once" is not enabled on either my phone or the recipient's phone.

I think your first sentence pretty much hits the nail on the head. Thanks for replying!
