Overview

‍

The block screenshot feature in the FlutterFlow app is designed to prevent users from taking screenshots and screen recording within the app interface. This can protect sensitive information or content you don't want users to capture and share outside the app.

When this feature is activated, the app detects when a user attempts to take a screenshot and blocks the action, usually by displaying a message or notification indicating that screenshots are not allowed in that particular context.

In this blog, we'll delve into the step-by-step process of implementing this Block Screenshot feature in Flutterflow apps.

Benefits of Blocking Screenshots

Implementing a block screenshot feature in apps offers several benefits:

1. Protecting Sensitive Information: 

Prevents unauthorised users from capturing and sharing sensitive data or content.

2. Enhanced Privacy: 

Ensures user privacy by limiting the ability to capture and distribute confidential information.

3. Maintaining App Integrity: 

Preserves the integrity of in-app content and prevents misuse or unauthorized sharing.

4. Compliance: 

It helps apps comply with data protection regulations and security standards by mitigating the risks of data leaks.

5. Improved User Trust: 

Instills confidence in users that their information is secure, leading to increased trust and engagement.

6. Preventing Content Piracy: 

Reduces the risk of content piracy or unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material.

7. Professionalism: ‍

Adds a layer of professionalism to the app, demonstrating a commitment to security and user privacy.

Setup the Block Screenshot in Flutterflow

To add a Block Screenshot Feature to your Flutterflow app, follow these steps:

‍

Step 1: Go to Pub.Dev

First of all, we go to Pub.dev and search for the no screenshot.

‍

‍

Step 2: Copy Code

In step 2 we will go to the no screenshot package page and copy the code.

‍

‍

Step 3: Go to Custom Code on Flutterflow

Once you have copied the code go to the Flutterflow dashboard and open Custom Code.

‍

‍

Step 4: Click Add Button 

After opening custom code on Flutterflow click the add button.

‍

Step 5: Add Dependency 

Add a name for the action like (Block Screenshot) and after that add the dependency we have copied from the pub.dev. After that click the green button to add dependency.

‍

Step 6: Go to Main.dart

Click the custom file button and go to the main draft after adding a dependency in Flutterflow.

‍

Step 7: Add Action

After going to main.draft click the initial action. Once you click the initial action select the block screenshot that we have created in step 5 after adding a dependency.

‍

Step 8: Final Step

Once we have completed all the above steps then add the custom action and select the Block Screenshot action we have created. After we have done that this feature will be added to the main function.
