1. A non-transitory computer-accessible medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions for granting or denying access to at least one encrypted message within a messaging application, wherein, when a computer arrangement executes the instructions, the computer arrangement performs procedures comprising:
receiving, from a receiver associated with the messaging application, at least one request to read the at least one encrypted message;
decrypting the at least one encrypted message using a decryption key, the decryption key being received from a sender who sent the at least one encrypted message;
detecting a screenshot request for a screenshot that includes the at least one encrypted message;
upon detecting the screenshot request, determining a hash associated with the messaging application;
comparing the hash to a further hash of an official version of the messaging application, wherein the official version of the message application corresponds to a version of the messaging application installed on the computer arrangement; and
blocking the screenshot request if the hash does not match the further hash.
