Daily Trivia - Edit Screenshot on Phone

Did you know, the highlighter/marker tool is a bad choice to cover up sensitive information on your phone screenshots?

Most iPhones and Android phones allow you to edit once you have taken a screenshot, and I noticed that most people casually use the provided black marker tool to cover up sensitive information.

STOP DOING THAT!!

The highlighter/marker tool does not remove the detail completely, and anyone can use simple photo editing software: by changing brightness levels, they can see what is hidden underneath.

Use polygon instead, cover the whole part with solid squares and if you want to be extra safe, take another screenshot of the screenshot you edited and send out the last one.

I hope you learn something today 🙂
