A longstanding conspiracy is the tale of how Facebook is listening in on your conversations, but the way it is actually serving you ads is much more unsettling.
Do you know where in Exodus you can see if an app takes screenshots? Looking through the permissions of two of the most invasive apps I could think of off the top of my head (Facebook, Google, Temu, Instagram, some popular mobile games) I couldn’t find any permissions specifically related to screenshot. If most apps tested are taking screenshots, I would have thought it would be easy to see :/
I guess if it doesn’t say they have permission to take screenshots then they don’t and won’t take screenshots. Or maybe exodus is wrong (i kinda doubt that) but I’m not knowledgeable to make any proper decision.
At any rate I would recommend not having any of those apps on your phone particularly facebook or temu. but if you still need to use them just use the website since that has much less permissions for your device and definitely won’t take screenshots.
I have a Google Pixel with Graphene OS and I only install bare minimum of apps on it. I’ve never used Temu and don’t have an account. So not asking for myself 🙂 But I know many family members who have the most frustratingly ad ridden, notification nagging and invasive apps known to humankind - was asking to help them debloat, improve their privacy and free up some of their time and sanity.
It’s a shame there’s no list of those thousands of apps that take screenshots. While its not all apps, it would have still been a handy reference.

Oh sorry for assuming you didn’t already know that. That’s awesome you have graphene os, my phone doesn’t support any custom rom’s really.
I totally agree there should be a list, it would be very nice to know.
