It's very useful in apps like Spotify, Snapchat, and Cyberdust to be able to detect when there is a screenshot. It would be amazing to be able detect screenshots – I could see it looking something like: ScreenshotDetector.addEventListener('screenshot', this.handleScreenshotDetector). Perhaps for a later version, it could add the following: ScreenshotDetector.addEventListener('screenRecordingStarted', this.handleScreenshotDetector). ScreenshotDetector.addEventListener('screenRecordingStarted', this.handleScreenshotDetector). Some apps even manage to change the state of the app right before the screenshot takes in order to block it from grabbing sensitive info, but I don't think that is as important for a v1. I saw this Canny request ( https://expo.canny.io/feature-requests/p/access-to-eventstream-to-disable-screenshots ), but didn't feel it was clear enough.
