Allow app screenshots to be taken... about aarogyasetu_android HOT 6 OPEN

I'm just guessing, but it's probably because Aarogya Setu is used as a "pass" app in multiple places (such as airports) to allow only "safe" citizens to access the space/service. Disallowing screenshots is a smart way to prevent people from showing a fake status.

For what it's worth, the Helsinki metropolitan transit app in Finland has circumvented this by making the transit pass screen animated, with a color scheme that changes apparently daily, so screenshotting will not do. Of course that's not foolproof either.

What's the reason of not allowing screenshots 🤔

@nihar1024 There are many other ways to fake the screen. They can't disable taking screenshots just for that one reason is what I think. Maybe there is something else?

Well digilocker does allow app screenshots to be taken, what do you think of that? 🙈

@Electron-2002 I agree that there are other ways of faking your status, but doing it using screenshots is very easy for a large number of people. Disabling it means that it becomes a bit harder and requires more time and technical knowledge. Can't think of another reason they would disable it, apart from preventing misuse.
