Does screen recorder notify people on snapchat?

[Bybcous]

I have been recording certain snaps since launch but no one had said anything but i just thought about it now

 

[j_hansen]

I don't use Snapchat but I hope it does notify people if the conversation is being recorded

 

[MysticalDreams]

I don't use snapchat either... but I would think it would be like a screenshot notification

I don't think it does.. Clear recent apps, start recorder, then run Snapchat..

If you launch it mid Snap, it probably would notify.

I knew this to definitely be true with AZ Screen Recorder

imo it needs to notify in all circumstances, beginning or middle or further on. very creepy otherwise.

Never send anything electronically you don't want someone to have. Forever.

very true, but not the point

as a woman, regardless of if I'm just talking or whatever I might do (and I don't use those apps), I have a right to know if someone is videoing me whether a friend, acquaintance, or law enforcement. anything else is beyond creepy. I would think anyone, male or female would want, and have a right, to know.

The notification of screen shots is a part of Snapchat only to try and enforce it's intent of not retaining messages our media. If you were to send the message via text message, you don't get such notifications not so you have a right to it. As Mr bass... said, if you don't want someone to be able to keep something forever, don't send it. While you may have the expectation that the person receiving your snap wouldn't screenshot it record it, there is no guarantee.

Good thing you conduct yourself properly then..

I don't put anything on any device I don't want seen by others, especially if it connects to the internet!

We all have privacy concerns. I don't want apps capable of scanning my device to know what else I have on my phone... Banking information, texts messages, call history, etc.

What's to stop someone from just recording your activities with another device entirely? What I'm saying is if there's a will, there's a way..

At the end of the day, be sure you know who's on your friends list and what they're capable of.. Don't just add people to get a high follower count. At some point, personal accountability has to come into play.

clearly, but one should expect to have that right. as mentioned previously, I don't use those types of apps because of this type of behavior alone. creepy people doing creepy things, right or wrong by word of permissions or law.

we have come to a sad state of affairs in our digital world that basic rights to privacy are daily ignored and discarded by various organizations, corporations, and individuals.

what if it was your child, your family being recorded doing whatever, even nothing more than talking, without their explicit knowledge? that's the litmus test.

amen and that's why I don't use the apps known for allowing this type of activity to go on.

I utilize IG but only in a very selective way and I don't add everyone who asks and actively block even the slightest bit of creepy. and I've gotten a lot of "interesting" follows there. the profiles were clearly wrong on many levels.

the world is not my friend, and I am well aware of it.

Actually in my state you do Not have the right to know. Phone conversations, or texts can be recorded without your consent or knowledge.

In my state, you have to have permission from all parties in order to record a conversation.
I think it's considered a two-party state that might be the wrong terminology though.
I just recently looked up the law on this for my stepson.
I know when I lived in California it was definitely a one-party state or at least it used to be. Because the police had me record a conversation with them sitting there listening to the conversation. If it wasn't allowed it was on them not me.

not sure how it works in cali, but in other states, no, its not soley on them. they wouldn't be able to use it in court, but if the person decided to sue or something, you'd still be named because you actually recorded it. not that that's a likely scenario, more of a technicality.

 

[icnmayhem]

there is the expectation of decency and the reality. I can expect that nobody will come into my house I the middle of the night, and we can all agree that it's wrong, but I still lock my doors and set the alarm. because there's always a chance of bad people doing bad things. same with sending things across the internet.

 

[rebeccarec]

It's the internet....My parents told me from a very very young age that anything posted/sent/messaged can be on the internet FOREVER and to never send anything that I wouldn't want held against me in a job interview 20 years later...
People are silly if they think snaps or any other sort of app really is secret/private with no trace :/

It was actually used in criminal court. And it was replayed several times. Again this was years ago. I just checked and California is now a 2 party state as well... it looks like it changed in 2009

One app doesn't get access to another app, unless it asks for that permission and you grant it. So Snapchat could ask for permission to scan the phone for any apps that might be recording the screen, keep a list of them (updating it periodically, like every time you run it, which would slow loading to a crawl), then, if one of the apps it found is running, notify the person at the other end.

But what would more likely happen is that Snapchat would lose a lot of users from that, and loosing users is a bad business model, so don't ever expect to see any screen-recording app notify you, on any social media site, that it's recording the conversation.

(If it didn't scan every time it ran, you could just install Snapchat, let it scan, then install a screen recording app and defeat the whole thing.)
