Screenshot not working in Crypto Wallet

agilit8

Hi all, am a new user of both Pixel 7 and Graphene OS so still learning the ropes.
I can screenshot in all apps other than my crypto wallet and have tried to change as many settings as possible both within the wallet app and other phone settings.
Does anyone have ideas on how to overcome this problem.
Screen shotting is required to send as confirmation of transactions.
Cheers

agilit8 Screen shotting is required to send as confirmation of transactions.

I am not sure I follow this part, perhaps due to not being a crypto expert.

If I actually send somebody crypto, doesn't it show up in the target wallet in a way the recipient can verify? If so, what's the screen shot for? If not, wouldn't somebody accepting a screen shot be vulnerable to accepting faked screen shots?

This has been discussed before, I believe it can't be overcome besides rooting or the OS integrating a feature to override it at the system level.

Some apps (i.e. password managers, banking apps and crypto wallets) consider taking screenshots a security hazard and as such tell the OS to prevent it.
A secure OS will not allow the user to overrule such app demands, so the only place where this restriction can be lifted is the app in question.
A good example is KeePassXC on pc platforms. Taking screenshots of the app is blocked by default, unless you temporarily allow this from within the app.

Thanks flighty and Stephan, after all the settings and permission variables I have adjusted in the phone have suspected restrictions within the crypto app itself which has a distinct lack of setting options and no reference to screenshot. I have reached out to the crypto team for advice on this and am just hearing crickets. If I have breakthrough will post it here for the benefit of all, cheers
