Wanna know what's even more fucked up? Few years back, I had exactly this problem. Searched the internet for a solution. Guess what?
Enable Google Voice Assistant and say "Ok Google. Take a screenshot." Google magically has the rights to make a screenshot on the App that doesn't let you, the user, take the screenshot.
Next phone I get is gonna be something with a alternate OS, no Android or iOS.
Good luck with finding an alternative. I tried running a Pinephone Pro with Linux and it was just too buggy to use.
If your current phone lasts 4 more years it might be ok software wise but good god is it bad now.
Don't a lot of people use GrapheneOS?
People do but it’s Android. They asked for a non iOS non Android system.
it's for pixel phones only.
Yes, I use GrapheneOS myself, but just know that it doesn't make any changes to AOSP other than privacy and security enhancements. Apps can still prevent you from taking screenshots on GrapheneOS.
I realistically only need to have mobile data, run Signal, Discord, possibly WhatsApp, and have a working browser... Hm. I hope that works.
If you are ok with a 4-5 hour battery life then this should work. They all have Linux clients. The problem is that there is no notification infrastructure. The phone just runs like a desktop the whole time. If you sleep the phone you don’t get alerts.
That OS won't have those banking apps in the first place, so what's the difference to just not installing them on Android?
android allows programs to prevent screenshots, which is defective by design https://www.defectivebydesign.org/
Cool website!
This is a hot tip, thank you! Just confirmed in my banking app, no overlay or notification but the screenshot appeared in my photos
So, the very thing the block claims to block, is completely allowed lol genius
Google is working on replacing Assistant with their Gemini AI crap - would not be surprised if it no longer works there.
