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.

Is it your phone though?

Your physical phone hardware belongs to you.

The Android operating system is licensed for your use as Free and Open Source Software.

All the other Google bits and blobs are licensed to you by Google.

Some days I'm not even sure if I own the shoes on my feet or if they're just licensed to me.

Soooo... Any Magisk module that allows one to bypass this?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

There's is an LSPosed module called Disable-FLAG_SECURE that does this

I agree that it's infuriating! I downloaded an LSPosed module called CaptureSposed that overrides it.

It shouldn't take a specific module hack on a rooted phone with a custom OS with an unlocked bootloader to get this functionality back.

iPhone absolutely has this concept

If only that didn't require a PC - like an Android version that could run on your tablet to copy your phone's screen.

Many phones can work in usb host mode. I'll see if such a rooted phone can be used to capture screen over adb with perhaps a modified scrcpy. Or run normal scrcpy in a freedesktop rootfs container. Sounds like a fun side project.
