Even worse, now some apps are not allowing screenshots. That's bullshit, it's my phone, I should be able to screenshot whatever the hell I want.

- josephcsible 2y agoI'm not sure why you're being downvoted. You're 100% right. Android lets apps block screenshots with FLAG_SECURE, and iOS does too with https://github.com/JayantBadlani/ScreenShield https://github.com/JayantBadlani/ScreenShield, and neither one gives the owner of the phone a way to override that.
- Pikamander2 2y agoThe wildest one I've seen is Chrome on Android not allowing screenshots in Incognito mode. I'm struggling to understand the rationale there except maybe to prevent people from accidentally screenshotting sensitive stuff like porn or domestic violence resources? Either way, it's really not something the app should have control over.
- ahartmetz 2y agoMy guess would be to stop surveillance apps from taking screenshots - is that a thing?
