Android Central Question

I keep getting this mysterious pop-up on my Samsung Galaxy S8 that says "Issue getting screenshot". It appears randomly and I can't seem to figure out the cause. I've in uninstalled recent apps but can't get to the bottom of it.

Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it??
 
Same here. S8 as well. I've been trying to figure it out since last night when the issue first appeared for me.

Maybe some Samsung update? Bixby maybe? Is your phone connected to MDM like InTune or Airwatch?

Not too keen on my phone taking screenshots on its own and doing who-knows-what with them. Assuming there's an "issue" with getting a screenshot, there are some that aren't having issues.

When I searched last night I found nothing. First thing I find today was your post, so I think we're among the first.

This happens to me on a Note 8 running Oreo. Not sure if it's a coincidence, but launching or switching to Words with Friends2 seems to trigger it.

My phone is enrolled in Airwatch as well...

Getting this on my S8+ as well. Mostly have seen it in Words w/ Friends, but just now saw it in the new Google News app as well. Seems to have started about 2 days ago.
 
I keep getting this message in Words2 as well, the last 2 or 3 days. The real question I have is: was the game randomly screenshotting this whole time? If so, why? Its not really all that bothersome just weird.
 
S8. I also have WWF2 installed, but it's not only happening when WWF is open and active. I got it several times this afternoon while checking Bluetooth settings.
 
My advice to all of you: delete the app, and then contact Zynga to let them know why you've done so. This needs to be fixed pronto. If they don't respond with a fix, then I'd say goodbye to them for good. It's not worth risking your privacy just to play a word game.
