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
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
The only apps where this makes any sense are dating apps and similar social apps where a level of social vulnerability is more likely.
Otherwise agree that all others are BS.
Password manager. Bitwarden does this. Signal too but that falls into your social media category.
Yeah that makes sense too but those are also reasonable to have as a protected setting to turn on/off. I think the post is pointed at involuntary blocking.
Ironically, Google's new creepy Circle to Search feature gets to override the screenshot denial lockout that Google themselves created.
Doesn't appear to work in my case. I can a blank screen like I would when trying to screenshot.
Of course. When you run a monopoly, you get to make your own rules.
EU should force Google to open Android back up.
