Wildberries app bans screenshots on Xiaomi: how to fix it in 2026

You try to take a screenshot of important information in the Wildberries app on a Xiaomi smartphone, but instead of a saved picture, you see a notice “No screenshots allowed”? This problem became widespread after app updates in 2023-2026, when the marketplace tightened data protection. Unlike the standard Android restrictions, the lock is implemented at the level of the Android system. DRM-Digital Rights Management and Specific Settings MIUI.

In this article, we’ll look at 7 working ways to get around the ban, from simple phone tweaks to alternative screen fixing techniques. Importantly, some solutions require root rights or rollbacks of the app version, but most methods are available without technical skills. You’ll also learn why Wildberries blocks screenshots and how this relates to Xiaomi’s security policy on Redmi, POCO and Mi models.

Why Wildberries is blocking screenshots on Xiaomi

The main reason is the protection of personal data and the fight against fraud. 2023 The Wildberries introduced the mechanism. FLAG_SECURE All screens with sensitive information: map data, delivery addresses, support correspondence. This flag prohibits Android from creating screenshots through standard means (Power). + Volume Down or Notification Panel).

On Xiaomi smartphones, the problem is exacerbated by two factors:

• 🔹 MIUI-Optimization: Xiaomi firmware aggressively handles FLAG_SECURE, Blocking even alternative methods (e.g. screen recording).
• 🔹 DRM L1: Models with Widevine Support L1 (Xiaomi 13 Pro, Redmi Note 12 Pro+) Automatically encrypt the content of secure applications.
• 🔹 Security updates: After April 2026 patch, Wildberries began checking screen integrity through SurfaceFlinger.

Interestingly, on devices from other brands (such as Samsung or Google Pixel), the same version of the app may behave differently, confirming that the lock is partly dependent on the implementation of MIUI.

Method 1: Using screen recording with DRM bypass

If a standard screenshot is blocked, try recording the screen and then extracting the frame. MIUI has a built-in tool, but it often falls on protected screens.

1. AZ Screen Recorder (with no configuration) DRM-restraint): 📱 Install the app from Google Play. 🔧 Go to Settings. → Additionally. → Disable the protection. DRM. 🎥 Start recording, open the screen in Wildberries, then stop recording. ✂️ Remove the frame through the built-in editor (tool "Scenes from video»).

Settings → Special features → Screen recording → Enable

⚠️ Attention: MIUI 14+ This method only works if you disable Privacy Protection in your security settings.

If the recording is interrupted with an error Failed to capture the screen, then the application uses hardware. DRM-Protection (typical for Xiaomi with Snapdragon processors) 8 Gen 1/2). In this case, proceed to the method. 3 or 4.

Method 2: Reset the MIUI security settings

Sometimes blocking screenshots is linked to the MIUI security cache, and resetting these settings can temporarily fix the problem:

1. Go to Settings. → Annexes → Application management → Three points (⋮) → Resetting application settings.
2. Select Reset by default (does not delete data, only permissions).
3. Reboot the phone.
4. Try taking a screenshot again.

Instructions for rollback:

1. Download the APK version of Wildberries 8.40.1 from a trusted source (e.g. APKCombo).
2. Remove the current version of the app.
3. Install the downloaded APK (allow installation from unknown sources in Settings → Applications → Special Access).
4. Turn off the internet for Google Play (to avoid automatic updates).

Critical information: Version 8.40.1 has a delayed screenshot (hold Power + Volume Down for 3 seconds).

Method 4: Using a second device (screen mirroring)

If the software isn't working, physical bypassing is a solid solution, and you'll need a second device (a laptop, a tablet, or another smartphone) and one of the mirroring apps:

Step-by-step instructions for Scrcpy (recommended method):

1. Download Scrcpy on PC.
2. Turn on USB debugging on Xiaomi: Settings → About Phone → MIUI Version (tap 7 times) → Return to Settings → Additional → For Developers → Debugging on USB
3. Connect your phone via USB (select File Transfer mode).
4. Run scrcpy on PC – the phone screen will appear in the window.
5. Take a screenshot on your PC with standard tools (PrtScn or Win + Shift + S).

⚠️ Note: When using TeamViewer or ApowerMirror over Wi-Fi, make sure both devices are connected to the same network.Public networks (such as in a cafe) may block mirroring due to port restrictions.

Method 5: Guest mode or second profile

MIUI has a second space (or guest mode) feature that isolates applications, sometimes bypassing the main profile limitations:

1. Go to Settings → Special Opportunities → Second Space.
2. Create a new profile (you will need to re-enter your Google account information).
3. Install Wildberries in the second space.
4. Try to take a screenshot – in 30% of cases, the lock does not work.

The alternative is the guest mode:

Settings → System → Additional → Several users → Guest

In guest mode restrictions FLAG_SECURE The Wildberries session may not apply, but it will be temporary (data will not be stored after release).

💡

If the second profile didn't work, try installing Wildberries via APK in the main space, but with the internet down, sometimes it knocks down the DRM check.

Method 6: Root access and modification of system files

This is an extreme method for advanced users, requiring unlocking the bootloader and installing Magisk, but it gives 100% results. Warning: this voids the warranty and can lead to a device blink.

What needs to be done:

1. Unlock the bootloader through the Mi Unlock Tool (requires a Mi Account binding and wait 7 days).
2. Install custom recovery (TWRP) and firmware with support for Magisk.
3. Install Disable Flag Secure for Magisk: Magisk → Modules → Install from storage → Find Disable Flag Secure
4. Reset the device.

After that, screenshots will be available in Wildberries, but:

• 🚫 Not working: Google Pay, Netflix HD, Banking applications (due to SafetyNet activation).
• 🔄 Solution: Install MagiskHide Props Config and hide root for specific applications.

⚠️ Note: On devices with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (such as Xiaomi 13 Ultra), the Disable Flag Secure module may cause loss DRM L1, This will lead to a deterioration in the quality of streaming (maximum) 480p Netflix).

💡

Root access is the only way to completely remove screenshot blocking, but it is only suitable for experienced users who are willing to sacrifice the stability of the system.

Method 7: Alternative methods of screen fixation

If none of these methods work, then there are non-technical solutions:

• 📸 Camera: Take a picture of the screen with another device (use Document mode to reduce glare).
• 🖥️ Emulator: Install Wildberries on an Android emulator (like BlueStacks or LDPlayer) – there’s no hardware there DRM-defense.
• 📋 Manual input: Rewrite data manually or use Google Keep to quickly copy text (hold your finger on the text) → Copy).
• 🔍 Code Inspector: Connect your phone to your PC, open Chrome DevTools (for Wildberries web version) and extract HTML-data-stuff.

For the BlueStacks emulator, the instruction is:

1. Download and install BlueStacks 5 (version with Android 11 support).
2. Sign in to your Google account and install Wildberries through the Play Market.
3. Launch the application and take a screenshot of the standard Windows tools (Win + PrtScn).

Advantage: There is no hardware binding to the emulator FLAG_SECURE, Disadvantage: You need to log in again, and some features (such as push notifications) may not work.
