Getting Started

Notify your Capacitor app after the user takes a screenshot.

Use the event for post-capture guidance or in-app UI updates (for example a toast or analytics log). The notification arrives after a screenshot is taken; it does not protect or blur content before capture.

Install

npm install @rdlabo/capacitor-screenshot-event
npx cap sync

Usage

See ScreenshotEvent to register a listener, start watching, confirm one physical screenshot on a device, then stop and remove the handle.

Platform notes

• iOS: Uses the UIApplication.userDidTakeScreenshotNotification notification.
• Android (8.0.0): Watches FileObserver.CREATE on the fixed path Pictures/Screenshots/ under external storage. Detection depends on screenshots being saved to that directory; it is not a MediaStore change observer and is not guaranteed on every Android device or OEM gallery path.
• Web: Not supported because browsers do not expose screenshot events.
