The instant messaging platform, WhatsApp, is now rolling out a new 2.19.60.26 beta update to iOS users which removes the option of saving profile picture of your contacts. To recall, WhatsApp removed the option a couple of weeks ago for Android users, and now, it has been implemented to its iOS Beta app users as well. This news is first reported by WhatsApp watcher WABetaInfo claiming that the Facebook-owned company did not reveal any official information on why it removed the save profile picture option. That said, WhatsApp for iOS Beta users can still save the display picture of a group they’re part of, but they will no more be able to save the picture of individual contacts. They will now have to rely on the screenshot to save other’s profile picture.
