App Screenshots - New Feature

[Graham]

I notice there's a new feature available with the lastest version released today. App Screenshots!

Has anyone tried this yet? - If so, how is it working, it sounds fantastic, but does it work with your phone and are you happy with it?

If I get some positive replies, I might upgrade myself, but as you probably know, you need to have the target phone in your hands in order to upgrade (Android Unrooted), which is not always easy to do.

yes Im using it since some month on a rooted samsung and it is one of the best features for me. while using the app it is making every sec a picture from the screen so it is if you were looking live at the screen

[Graham]

Thanks for the info

 

Are you using it on a rooted, or non rooted phone? and which OS?

[yelazu]

on a rooted samsung os 9

[Graham]

I am using it on a Samsung S10 which is not rooted 

 

Seems to work ok, but there's a strange icon appearing on the phone notifications at the top, it looks like a screen sharing icon when you connect you tube to a TV.... Is this caused by Flexispy?

 

Does anyone else have this issue? It's only there when you scroll down the screen from the top to see the notifications.

Yo no he podido ver la pantalla, pero no me parece bien, que aparezcan iconos en el tel cuando enviamos comandos para oir, o grabar viceo

Hi Graham, in order to remove that icon you must use the installation service. Please read this

Otherwise, what you can do is disable the feature when you're not using it.

Thanks for the reply

Installation is not a good idea, because each time I upgrade to a new version of flexispy (usually every 3 months), I presume the installation service will have to be used again to suppress the icon.

My phone is not rooted, so maybe you could publish a way for us to do it without resorting to the installation service each time we want to update our phones?

Its not really a big deal, but the user is searching for reasons why this icon would appear on their phone...

I am *trying* to use it on a non-rooted Samsung S22 and it does not seem to work. The command to set which applications to screenshot never shows up as received. 

[yelazu]

Stella did you try to restart the device? it seems there is a problem the last time sending commands. 

[Stella006]

Yes, I restarted the device, and tried uninstalling and reinstalling the application - still no capture, and yes, it looks like there is an error with the commands being sent/received.

We've released a bug fix for app screenshots non root which should solve the problem of empty screenshots. It's available in FlexiSPY Android (Normal) Update Version 4.27.3

https://support.flexispy.com/portal/en/kb/articles/flexispy-android-normal-version-history

This includes an additional step in the installation guide (if you're installing yourself). 

Let me know if you have any issues with it

Hi! When you upgrade FlexiSPY for non-root to the latest version, you are first uninstalling the software, and then installing the latest version. Unless new features have been introduced and new indicators with them, then you should not need to use the installation service again.

So far, the capture is working after the update, but the portal keeps logging me out anytime I leave the app screenshot page, or after I try to submit to change the applications that are captured.
