Description
Hello Forkgram team 👋
I’d like to request a privacy & security feature that would allow users to disable screen recording and screen sharing within the app.
Why this matters:
Some malware and spyware are capable of silently taking screenshots or recording the screen. Adding a protection layer that blocks screen capture APIs would significantly improve user privacy and security—especially for users who handle sensitive chats or media.
Proposed behavior:
-
Add an option to disable screen recording and screen sharing
-
The feature should be disabled by default (opt-in), so it doesn’t affect normal usage
-
When enabled, the app prevents:
- System screen recording
- Screen sharing
- Screenshots (optional, if technically feasible)
-
Similar to Android’s
FLAG_SECUREbehavior
Benefits:
- Extra security layer against spyware and malicious screen capture
- Strong privacy enhancement for sensitive conversations
- Optional, non-intrusive feature for power users
I understand there may be platform limitations, but even partial support would be a great improvement. This would be a very valuable privacy feature for Forkgram users.
Thanks for your work and for considering this request 🙏
