How do I prevent apps from knowing when I screenshot?

antsyboy

Is there some way I can disable the ability of apps being able to tell when I screenshot? I've tried disabling sensors, but that doesn't seem to help. Is there some other thing I'm missing that could prevent this?

I'm running the latest stable branch of Android 14 on a pixel 7 (not pro) if that matters.

this is not possible on unmodified firmware. However, modifications to some applications allow you to do this, but it is a rather unsafe way. Among more or less safe examples of such modifications, I've seen open-source Telegram forks

fl1pper Thank you for clarifying on this. This answered my only question.

There should absolutely be a way to disable it. It's none of an app's business if I screenshot or not.

router99 A feature to control this has been considered and may be added in the future.

Marking this as solved as the OP's question has been answered.

Hello

Little opening to the topic here because it seems related :

How come the website instagram.com (Not the app) knows i am trying to take a screnshot of a conversation when browsing on firefox or vanadium?

And also; why are firefox and vanadium blocking the screenshot?

I understand for third Party apps; but vanadium?
