About this app

Intro
Some of the messaging apps detect screenshots you made from conversations. They notify person, you're chatting with, about the fact that you save a screenshot. Now you can save screenshots absolutely confidential.

Note
This app doesn't work with protected apps, like Netflix, Chrome incognito, Tor Browser, private Telegram chat, banking apps, etc. You will get black screen or just an error.

How it ensures privacy?
All files are saved into hidden directory. The app doesn't broadcast any message about new screenshot. Any other app can't access screenshots directly. Only you can browse them, share or delete.

How it works?
The app launches 'presentation' mode on your device and captures the whole screen's content. It displays draggable button which saves the current picture from screen into a file.

How to use?
● Press START button
● Grant permissions to allow capturing content of display
● Press screenshot button in order to make screenshot
● Press and hold screenshot button in order to return back to app
● Press STOP button in order to exit from 'presentation' mode

Advanced
● Android 7 and higher: you can put a shortcut into the Quick Settings drawer
● Android 7.1 and higher: hold app's icon to reveal shortcut for quick Start/Stop

When I select Restricted apps > Other apps (not incognito) in the app it says : Some apps present sensitive data (e.g. banking apps) or copyright-protected content (e.g. video streaming apps). App developers can opt to use the Android platform's security setting to prevent the screen from being captured, recorded, or shown on "non-secure displays" such as the Recent Apps view. This is the system protection designed for your personal safety, it's impossible to bypass it.

You can never capture restricted screenshots/screen recording. This safety feature is built in android and cannot be bypassed. For everything else, this is a good app with built in private safe folder. Nothing much fancy.

Private Screenshots efficiently delivers on its promise, providing a seamless experience in capturing screenshots confidentially. The interface is user-friendly, and the functionality aligns perfectly with the app's core premise. However, there is a minor hiccup; each time the app is launched, a permission pop-up appears, which can be a slight inconvenience. Despite this, the app stands out for its utility and reliability.
