hi all,
In my s23 few apps not allowed screenshots..It is showing me "this app doesn't allowed screenshot".. example .in instagram i can take screenshot anywhere in app but not in DM which is weird like chat is not even secure or in vanish mode.
similarly for few app like one banking app is not allowing me but other banking app is alllowing me take screenshot. I don't know any glitch but it is weird. it is not okay that few apps overriding device features.. I saw millions of such posts/reels/memes of people where they use insta dm screenshot

Some apps on your Galaxy S23 block screenshots because their developers enable a security setting (FLAG_SECURE) to protect sensitive information.
Instagram allows screenshots in most areas but blocks them in DMs for privacy, even outside Vanish Mode.
Banking apps vary: some allow screenshots, others block them for security compliance.
This is intentional, not a glitch, and controlled at the app level, not by your phone.
