10 seconds? You could, I don't know, screenshot it?!?

I guess they updated the article. It can't take screenshots.

But it would take more than 10 seconds to open, look, REALISE (that you really want the screenshot), open the screenshot app and by that time, BOOM!!!!
Sounds like James bond.

On all the CM roms I use if you hold down the power button it gives you the power menu, one of those items being a screenshot. Takes 3 or 4 seconds.

I get it that you are an advanced user...
But not every one is, most would just keep the OS the way it is.

And be stuck with motoblur, sense, or touchwiz? DOES NOT COMPUTE!

In the Samsung Galaxy S3, you just wipe the screen to take a screenshot.

As was pointed out below, Snapchat supposedly blocks screenshot attempts and sends a warning to the person messaging you when you try. Not sure if there's a way around that feature on a rooted device.
Oh, and FYI, if you're on Android 4.0+, just hold the power and volume down buttons together to get a screenshot. That's the fastest way.

Everybody knows nothing is disposable once uploaded.
Too bad teens these days are dumbasses so their privacy deserves to be online for everybody else to ridicule. Hell, we still have young adults that still do sext.

Wishful thinking, Facebook is so huge it's not going anywhere.

Screen shot wont work. If you dont want it to that is. With snapchat if you try taking a screenshot the picture ereases imediatley and then the sender gets a notificatoin saying you tried doing that.

Did not know that. Thanks for the info, I've edited the article to add that in.

I just hope they don't make this a part of the Facebook app. I don't think anyone wants to see.... (Your mother) likes sexting app join (your mother )on sexting app lol.

Or you could not be an idiot and don't send pictures of yourself naked..

If someone sends you a nudie, it's just bad form not to reciprocate. You don't want to be rude.

Brett Favre would agree with your comment all day every day.
