iOS update won't tell you if your Snapchat is recorded

From Digital Spy

So the new Apple iOS update is pretty nifty in some respects (see this list for some of them), but it's also hiding something a little bit more sinister in its update too.

As iOS 11 is being downloaded across the world, it seems most users are quickly becoming fans of the new customisable control centre, as well as the new notifications tab, the fact that Live photos now use less space and that Apple has also introduced various augmented reality additions with this operating service.

But then there's also the little fact that you can capture and record the iPhone screen's output with just a couple of button pushes – and the person you're capturing the output from will have no idea.

Yep, iOS 11 will allow you to record anything on your screen, from FaceTime conversations and WhatsApp video calls, all the way through to Instagram stories and Snapchats.

Currently, the likes of Instagram and Snapchat have a feature in place that tells the other user when one of their posts or updates have been screenshotted, so you'll know pretty quickly who is saving what photos from you.

Now, however, it looks like that handy little feature is not quite ready to work on the new iOS, leaving iOS 11 users free to capture and record all sorts of photos, chats and videos that pop up on their device, all without that person on the other end knowing what's happening.

Digital Spy reached out to Snapchat about the lack of notifications, and were told that it's an issue that they're aiming to fix with the first public version of the app built on iOS 11.

According to Snapchat, the update will notify users if it can detect a screenshot or a screen recording and will also name the Snapchat friend who did the deed.

There is a little loophole though, in that if the user doing the recording doesn't update to the new version, the app may not be able to detect that the recording is taking place.

So, needless to say, iOS and Snapchat users everywhere have been quick to share their opinion on the whole thing:
