How to override the screenshot restrictions on Android apps?

[E|e<tr0|!0n]

I have a rooted SM-J701F running Android 8.1. Is there any way I can take screenshots for apps (e.g. Magzter) whose security policy restricts them?

I have a rooted SM-J701F running Android 8.1 and I want to take screenshots of apps like Magzter that have restrictive security policies that won't let me. Is there a workaround for this?

Without custom rom I doubt that its possible. There was an app at xda that bypassed few of the apps's restrictions of taking screenshots, let me see if I am able to find the link for you.

I don't think that'd be possible. Magzter is a magazine app and they definitely won't want people to share very high resolution screenshots of magazines from it.

a. Stream your Android screen to a pc and take screenshots as you wish
b. "Banking apps and such tend to use FLAG_SECURE for safety reasons, so that the screen can not be captured or recorded. But there's an Xposed module which disables FLAG_SECURE system-wide and lets you take screenshots in apps that normally don't allow it. Naturally this requires root access in your device. Use this module with caution, though: as I said, it disables the flag system-wide."

This does not work inside google chrome mobile incognito mode tabs(non-rooted Android M),screen will show as blank black background.

I wish I could use the Xposed module, but Xposed breaks Safetynet in my phone and prevents me to use apps like GooglePay.

Which websites are you opening in incognito mode? Sunny leone vo kam chod chuki hai
Is it working for normal mode? Which app are you using to stream it? Use sidesync, airdroid+samsung browser

Xposed modules are very advanced and are regularly updated. If you are using the right module then leave skynet, no payment app will stop working.

I open all banking sites in incognito mode only.Normal tabs work fine,I tried almost all top rated streaming apps but none worked,google has put some OS level security lock in latest chrome mobile versions to prevent any app from taking screenshots inside incognito mode tabs.

This is what I've gathered from my experience:
Google Pay and many other apps don't run on Android phones if they detect rooting. You can prevent them from discovering a rooted phone by using systemless methods like Magisk, which doesn't trip Safetynet (Google's inbuilt security API). Installing Xposed does, however, and a lot of apps with restrictive policies refuse to work when they sense rooting.

Try Samsung browser with the apps that I have mentioned and see if it works for normal mode. Working for me.

Well there are apps/modules that turn off that "sense" but from personal point of view rooting only for this specific feature isn't worthy.

My phone is not samsung & anyway this restriction is there in chrome incognito tabs only,most probably any other browser not based on chrome should be fine(even chrome earlier versions it was not an issue).

Samsung browser can be installed on any Android phone.

It's the restriction chrome introduced from version 65+.

This worked! I used the new EdXposed framework which doesn't trip safetynet to flash the module and now I'm able to take screenshots as I please.
Thanks a lot!

Can you check if this works inside google chrome incognito mode tabs?
