Not sure if this is the correct place to post, but I just wanna kinda rant a bit.

I'm not the only one that hates this, right?

An app can just do a "This App Does Not Allow Screenshots"? Like... wtf?

Like, its my phone, and some app can just decide to disable a fuction of my phone. It's my phone and if I wanna take a screenshot, I'm taking a screenshot. I don't care about whatever "security" the app developer wants.

Imagine if every online shopping app whether fast food or amazon, just used this to block you from taking a screenshot so you can't save the records in case of a dispute.

Which android developer thought it was a good idea to let an app disable a function on your phone. Even iPhone doesn't have this stupid concept.

Sorry for the rant.

Anyone wanna share your stories?

(P.S. I have a cheap secondary phone to take photos of the screen. "This App Does Not Allow Screenshots" my ass lmao, I'm taking the screenshot whether the app wants it or not.

You mean the "recent apps"?

What Android version?

In any recent Android versions, anything within the app in the "recent apps" would show as all white or all black in any screenshots or screen recordings.

Yes, 'recent apps'; I never knew the name. Currently using Android v14, this method still works fine for me.

Doesn't work on android 15 for me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Ah, might depend on the app then.

i have 6.1 and am fully updated, and this still works for me

Android 6.1? (Not OneUI 6.1 right?)

Its must be an old unpatched bug.

(Btw, how long have you been holding onto the device? Its amazing your phone survived that long.)

If its OneUI 6.1, then thats weird, since I'm also on OneUI 6.1 and it doesn't work.

OneUI 6.1 is Android 14 btw, Android Version =/= OneUI Version

i meant OneUI 6.1, sorry for the confusion lol

yeah i have a Galaxy S21, i tend to hang on to my phones as long as possible
