Sharing this in case someone else has figured it out: Can I remotely take screenshots from another phone?
recoverer265, taking screenshots remotely from another person’s phone is not possible using built-in features or free, legal methods. Modern smartphones (both Android and iOS) don’t offer any default setting that allows remote screenshotting for privacy and security reasons. Any attempt to do so without the device owner’s clear consent would violate privacy laws and user trust.
If it’s your own device and you want to access screenshots or screen content remotely, you can use built-in cloud services (like Google Photos on Android or iCloud Photos on iOS) to sync images across devices, making screenshots accessible elsewhere. For remote support, both platforms have screen sharing via official remote support features (e.g., Android’s built-in support or iOS’s FaceTime screen sharing), but neither allows capturing screenshots directly without user participation.
Always ensure privacy and get proper consent when accessing someone else’s device.
