This is always a very interesting topic for me. On one hand, I would like apps to be able to enforce rules like “no screenshots” or at a minimum “screenshot detection”. On the other hand, I want my phone to do what I ask you to do and not be forced to follow arbitrary rules.

Example: I don’t want someone to screenshot my Snapchat message but I don’t want my bank to prevent me from screenshotting the app because of “security” (aka security theater).

I don’t know how you make those two concepts work together.

One random thought that I just had is that when an app uses DRM it just show a black screen when you screenshot. I wonder if could implement that for things like Snapchat to get the same protections.
