WhatsApp no longer allows you to save profile photos of contacts. That is, we open the photo of a contact and we could save it. Don't even try it anymore because it won't quit. It is one of those characteristics that are born to protect the privacy of all those who allow us to see their profile photos if we have them in contact.
It is in the beta that it can be found that the specific button is no longer found to be able to access that function of downloading the photo. Logically everything is given by that desire to protect the privacy of the hundreds of millions of users who use this app to start conversations, chat and much more ...
It is in the beta of Android and iOS where users who have downloaded it have verified that there is no longer the function to download profile image from the three vertical dots button. In other words, this button disappears, eliminating the possibility of downloading a contact's profile photo from the root.
The funny thing is that it is still allowed take a screenshot, so the safest thing that when you try and cannot download the image, you will go on to try to take the capture. Yes you will be able to do it; But who knows how long WhatsApp will take to eliminate this option from our phones, which is logically similar to the function we had in the menu.
WhatsApp has not come to the fore to talk about this change, but it does has added other small improvements like the visualization of the number of photos or images or files that we can have in a folder. Everything will be a matter of waiting for the final version to prove the impossibility of downloading an image.
So you know, don't even try because you will not be able to save the profile photos of WhatsApp contacts. A way to continue protecting the privacy of people who use this well-known chat app; and soon with announcements...
