    That isn’t the purpose of the new API. Apps can already prevent screenshots by using FLAG_SECURE.

    The purpose is to move away from the resource- and privacy-invasive ways that apps implement screenshot detection today, such as through monitoring the directory in which screenshots are saved. The new functionality will require a permission and will no longer require the apps to have access to the screenshots themselves.
