Anyone else think it's about time fab migrates to a proper app, with features such as screenshot protection? Even grindr, with all its myriad bugs, has it as a feature.

As it stands, anyone can just save images, crop your username, and post your content anywhere they like.

You don't need an app to prevent screenshot, one line of code on a website can also disable screenshots...but as someone else pointed out, it only makes it a sliver trickier, if you're browsing on a pc you can just take a pic with your phone

Taken from the FAQ.

Why don't you right-click protect our photos to stop others stealing / saving them?

We believe in being straighforward with the members of Fab. Right click protect doesn't work and gives a false sense of security by pretending to "protect" images. Other sites may pretend they've protected your images but actually they're being dishonest by claiming that.

Right click "protect" can be gotten around in under 2 seconds by any of the following methods:

Simplest: Goto File menu, Save As, and save to desktop = The photos will be in a folder on your desktop that your browser has created.

OR... Disable JavaScript by going to Tools menu, choose Internet Options, Click the Security tab, click Custom Level, scroll to the "Scripting" section of the list and click Disable. Right click can now be used to save images.

OR... Press print screen and the image + page will be copied to clipboard where it can be pasted into a graphics program for resize or save.

We give you three privacy options on your photos and we now hide images from anyone who isn't a member of Fab. If you are worried about someone stealing your photos you may want to set them to be viewable only by your friends, or private in which case you can send by private mail.

We also now watermark all photos upon upload
