Note:
When you take a screenshot, the "Google Cast" icon will appear in the status bar and will be visible in the screenshot image.
If you want to hide the icon, follow the instructions here: github.com/cvzi/ScreenshotTile#icon
Permissions:
- android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - "Photos/Media/Files and Storage": This permission is required to save the screenshot files on the internal storage of your device.
- android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE: Since Android 9/Pie, this permission is required to take screenshots. It means that this app can run without being visible. However, a notification will always be displayed when it is running.
Automatic screenshots:
If you want to automate screenshots from another app, such as MacroDroid or Tasker, you can find a step-by-step guide here: github.com/cvzi/ScreenshotTile#automatic-screenshots-with-broadcast-intents
Hiding the app icon:
In the app settings, you can hide the app icon from your launcher. You can still access the app by long-pressing the tile in your quick settings. Unfortunately, Android 10 does not allow hiding an app anymore.
