[Feature Request] Add support for blocking screenshots from being taken

Open grrrrr opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

I am aware that this is not a perfect privacy solution and there are ways around it but it would be useful to have Twidere block the ability to take screenshots.

While the risks / concerns of someone remotely taking a screenshot of Twidere on most peoples devices phone are low there are still users who are high risk, it is a possibility that some malware is setup to take screenshots of micro blogging account details of which could result in issues in restrictive countries

Additionally with screenshots blocked, switching apps would result in you seeing Twidere is your list of open apps but not seeing the screen it's contents

My suggestion would be to add a toggle allowing users to opt-in to this feature,.

Some apps that do that have this option if examples/comparison is needed

  • KeepassDX (always blocked)
  • Signal (allows toggling screenshot capture on or off)
  • ProtonMail (allows toggling screenshot capture on or off)
  • Aegis (allows toggling screenshot capture on or off)
  • MediLog (allows toggling screenshot capture on or off)
  • RedReader (allows toggling screenshot capture on or off)
