Can someone block only pics and videos on Facebook messenger or chat?
Blocking people in Messenger apps is a strict way to disconnect. However, in some cases, you want to block the ability to send and receive messages from certain people. Such a feature exists both in the Facebook Messenger application and on its site. But it is not possible to block only one particular message or image in your chat with another person. In the following, we will explain why such a feature is largely impossible.
When you block an individual account, you block all access to him or her to send messages, call, and view profiles. However, after doing so, the person will not receive any notifications. But as soon as he tries to text you or call you, he will see a message indicating that you have blocked his account. But blocking an image or video requires that such an option be embedded separately for media files, which does not currently exist. So, if you block someone, all your chats with him will be restricted, and if he sends you a message while you are blocking, you will not receive it.
But what is your goal in blocking images or videos in Facebook Messenger? For example, do you want to send a photo to your friend that he sees only once and cannot send it to anyone? Or have you sent a movie that you regret sending?
What if we want to protect our privacy despite the pictures and videos we send?
In this case, we suggest using messengers that allow you to delete the message after sending it. We suggest using WhatsApp, which is a product of Facebook and offers you great options in this regard. You can delete the image, video, or even the message you sent to the other party without blocking their account. By doing this, even if the other person has downloaded the video, WhatsApp will delete it from his gallery.
Another cool feature that has recently been added to this app is the ability to send disposable images. This means that the other party only has a chance to see the photo once. After that, the image will no longer be displayed to him, will not be saved in the gallery, and it will not be possible to share it with others.
