Earlier, there was a trick of sharing a screenshot of the restricted App using Google Assistant, but Google released security updates and fixed that issue. Now, if you try to take a screenshot on any restricted app or a web page, then Google Assistant will Capture a Black Screen Screenshot. So, how can you grab a screenshot on any app which blocks it? DigitBin is here for your rescue. Cannot Capture Screenshot, this Page Contains Personal Information. All the Apps may not work with these methods. But most of the apps surely work.
How to Take Screenshots on Restricted Apps Android?
Before sharing any method for capturing screenshots for apps that do not allow screenshots, let me clear out one thing. We at DigitBin respect the privacy and security enforced on any app for users. This guide is just for sharing knowledge with our readers. We do not support using these tricks to partake in any malicious activities that breach any smartphone user’s app security, data, and privacy.
Method 1. Using App Cloner Application
You can use the App Cloner app to create a clone of an app with customized settings that can help you capture screenshots without a black screen issue. If the cloned App you created forces close or crashes, you have to enable other options under Cloning options (try different combinations); namely, local activities, local broadcasts, and services ignore crashes and check if these options help rectify the cloner app issues.
Method 2. Take Restricted Screenshots Using Tai-Chi
Here is the Best Working Method to Capture a Screenshot on any app and Bypass the Restriction.
Download Tai-chi App and DisableFlagSecure (Alt Link) apps on your Android Device.
Install both apps normally.
Now Open Taichi App and Grant all the permissions if prompted on the screen.
Click on Manage Modules and Right Tick DisableFlagSecure app.
Now, on the Menu icon the downright and click on Create App (+)
Now right-check and select the app/s for which you want to take a screenshot and click Create.

Method 3. Use Scrcpy Tool to Capture the Screenshot
Here is another easy technique that you can utilize to capture the screen of your Android device. You have to use a tool called Scrcpy to mirror your smartphone screen on the PC. Then from the mirrored screen, you have to take a screenshot. Although it may sound like rocket science, it is quite simple when you apply it. This tool may or may not work on some apps depending upon the limitations set on capturing screenshots by the app developers.
Method 4. Use Another Phone to Take a Photo
This probably sounds like the silliest trick, but it is pretty useful. In case, the content of the screen is not being captured using dedicated physical buttons, gestures, Google Assistant, or even the Scrcpy tool, then follow this method. Whether other tricks may work or not, this one is surely going to work, and you can get a high-quality image of the screen as a photo.
Other Methods to Save Screenshots on Restricted Apps
Use Virtual Exposed App [No-Root]
Download Both Virtual Exposed and DisableFlagSecure on Android.
Install Both Apps Normally.

4. Now Select the App which you want to take a screenshot and also DisableFlagSecure from the app list.
Click Install at the bottom and select VirtualExposed.
Once Installed, click Open.

Other Alternatives to Capture Screenshots on Android
If the above tips and tricks did not yield any result in capturing the screenshot on an Android device, then, the last resort that remains is rooting your Android device. Unless you are into tinkering with devices as an enthusiast, superuser, or developer, I would not suggest rooting your Android device for something as simple as taking a screenshot. There are forums like XDA where you can get ample information and tools to perform a root on your device.
Empty Device Storage
This generally happens when your device storage is filled. Though you may have a good amount of storage space left in your device, the error notification will show up. There is no particular reason for the same. So, I recommend you straightforwardly as much storage as possible. That is the only solution to fix this issue. Conclusion: Due to Privacy and Security Concerns, most of the apps block screen capture. If you wish to take a screenshot of the App seriously, then the above methods will surely work for you.
