Private Screenshots
How does the password lock work in Private Screenshots?
You set a four-digit PIN when you first open the app, and every time you launch it, you'll need that PIN to access your screenshots. This keeps all your sensitive images, like login details or prescription info, safe from anyone who picks up your phone.
Can I organize screenshots into folders inside the app?
Yes, you can create custom folders like 'School & Logins' or 'Receipts & Orders' to keep your screenshots neatly sorted. This helps you avoid a messy pile and makes it easy to find what you need later.
Why can't I take a screenshot using my usual phone buttons, and how do I capture one?
Private Screenshots doesn't use your phone's default screenshot buttons because it needs to capture content directly into its secure vault. Instead, you have to open the app first and tap a floating button on the screen to take the screenshot.
What should I do if I miss capturing something because the app takes too long to open?
Unfortunately, you have to be quick—open Private Screenshots before the moment passes, since you can't use your phone's standard screenshot shortcut. To avoid missing time-sensitive content, try keeping the app open in the background or practice using the floating button so it becomes second nature.
How does Private Screenshots compare to using a locked folder in Google Photos?
Unlike Google Photos' Locked Folder, Private Screenshots has a dedicated floating button for capturing screenshots directly into the app, plus a 'Stealth Mode' that hides it from your recent apps list. However, Google Photos integrates more smoothly with your existing gallery, while Private Screenshots requires you to change your screenshot habits.
