    Do you know where in Exodus you can see if an app takes screenshots? Looking through the permissions of two of the most invasive apps I could think of off the top of my head (Facebook, Google, Temu, Instagram, some popular mobile games) I couldn’t find any permissions specifically related to screenshot. If most apps tested are taking screenshots, I would have thought it would be easy to see :/

      I guess if it doesn’t say they have permission to take screenshots then they don’t and won’t take screenshots. Or maybe exodus is wrong (i kinda doubt that) but I’m not knowledgeable to make any proper decision.

      At any rate I would recommend not having any of those apps on your phone particularly facebook or temu. but if you still need to use them just use the website since that has much less permissions for your device and definitely won’t take screenshots.
