Hey admin!

What if we could get a notification when someone screenshots one of our pictures? It would probably help cut down on the people saving users selfies without permission.

Unfortunately not possible within a browser alone, but as it moves more towards being a full app they should be able to then.

@DDonde this is what I was thinking but I don't know anything about that kinda stuffs

@SooperSarah It's because web browsers do not get knowledge about when screenshots are taken. In theory you could make a web browser that did, but then someone could just use a different browser. In mobile apps that notify users about screenshots, it's reliant on everyone using the same app (and the app having access to the screenshot service in the device. Windows does not tell web browsers about screenshotting, for example).

@DDonde that's kinda what I figured. But I've been wrong before. Thanks for the info!
