Block Android's Screenshot and Screen Recording Detection APIs
About this app
With the release of Android 14, Google added an API to enable app developers to detect screenshots. This API has since been adopted by popular apps such as Snapchat.
CaptureSposed is an Xposed module that effectively disables this API as well as the screen recording detection API added in Android 15. The app provides in-app switches to control each hook. You can also add optional Quick Settings tiles that mirror the in-app switches.
⚠️ WARNING: CaptureSposed is intended for rooted devices running Android 14 or newer and requires Xposed. The required Xposed variant to use is LSPosed. Other Xposed variants will not work. This module cannot be guaranteed to work on all devices. In the worst case, it can cause a bootloop. Use at your own risk. Additionally, this module does not protect against screenshot detection from apps that use the pre-Android 14 approach of using file system listeners to detect screenshots (ref 1, ref 2).
To use CaptureSposed:
1. Install an LSPosed build with API 101 support. This requires your device to be rooted with Magisk or KernelSU. 2. Install CaptureSposed. 3. Grant root access to CaptureSposed. 4. Activate the CaptureSposed module in the LSposed user interface. 5. Reboot your device and sign in. 6. Open the CaptureSposed app and use the switches to enable or disable screenshot and screen recording detection blocking. Use the Testing card to verify that detection is blocked when expected. 7. Optionally, add the Block Screenshot Detection and Block Recording Detection Quick Settings tiles from the tile editor. These tiles mirror the in-app switches.

Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be com.keshav.capturesposed is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 1.0.7 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall CaptureSposed first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of CaptureSposed, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
