How to remove the ban on screenshots in Wildberries on Xiaomi smartphones: 7 working ways

It became impossible to take a screenshot in the Wildberries app on a Xiaomi smartphone? You are not alone - since 2023, the marketplace has been actively blocking the creation of screenshots in its mobile application, but on Xiaomi, Redmi and other devices. POCO This defense works particularly aggressively, and it's because of a combination of two factors: DRM-Protection from Wildberries and Security Policy MIUI, which limits screenshots for "protected" applications.

In this article, we will look at 7 proven ways to get around locking, from simple (using a second device) to technically complex (modifying system files). Importantly, some methods require unlocking the bootloader or root rights, which can lead to a loss of warranty. We will also analyze why Wildberries blocks screenshots in principle, and what alternative ways to store product information exist without violating the rules of the platform.

Why Wildberries is blocking screenshots on Xiaomi

The main reason is to protect content from copying. Wildberries uses FlagSecure technology (part of Android DRM), which prohibits screenshots and screen recording in the app. On Xiaomi smartphones, this lock is reinforced due to:

• 🔒 Politicians. MIUI: Xiaomi firmware by default strictly follows the restrictions of FlagSecure, unlike the “bare” Android.
• 📱 Hardware protection: Some models (e.g. Xiaomi) 13T Or the Redmi Note 12 Pro.+) layer DRM processor-level.
• 🔄 Updates MIUI: After leaving. MIUI 14 The lock became tougher – even bypass methods stopped working without root.

Wildberries has officially motivated this by protecting sellers’ rights (so that users don’t copy photos of goods for resale) and fighting fraud (screenshots could be used to challenge orders), but blocking creates inconvenience for ordinary buyers who want to keep information about the product they like.

Method 1: Use of the second device (the safest method)

If you need to save information from Wildberries without risking warranty or security, take a second device (like an old smartphone, tablet or even a camera) and take a picture of the main phone screen.This method works 100% of the time and requires no technical manipulation.

• 📸 Camera of another smartphone: Use Document or Macro mode for a clear shot.
• 🖥️ PC Mirror: Connect your phone to your computer via scrcpy and take a screenshot on your PC.
• 🎥 Screen video: Record a short video with the right information, then take a screenshot of the video.

⚠️ Warning: If you are taking a picture of a screen with your credit card details or personal information, make sure the second device is password protected and not connected to public Wi-Fi networks.

Method 2: Disable protection through ADB (without root)

If you have a computer and a bit of technical skills, you can temporarily disable FlagSecure protection for Wildberries via Android Debug Bridge (ADB).This method does not require root rights, but only works until the phone is rebooted.

Instructions:

1. Turn on Developer Mode on your phone: go to Settings → About Phone → MIUI version and press 7 times.
2. Activate USB Debugging in Settings → Additional → For developers.
3. Connect your phone to your PC and execute the command: adb shell settings put global hidden_api_policy 1
4. Then enter adb shell am start -n com.wildberries.ru/com.wildberries.mainactivity.MainActivity --ez disable_flag_secure true

Then try to take a screenshot in Wildberries, and if it works, the protection will be disabled until the next reboot, and you'll need to repeat the procedure after every time you turn off the phone.

Method 3: Install a modified APK (risky)

You can find modified versions of APK Wildberries that have removed the FlagSecure check, but this method has serious drawbacks:

• 🚨 Security: Downloading APK From third-party sources, it can lead to the installation of malware.
• 🔄 Updates: Modified versions are not automatically updated, posing a risk of vulnerabilities.
• 📵 Account Block: Wildberries may ban account for using unofficial clients.

If you do decide to take a risk, follow the instructions:

1. Download the modified APK from a trusted forum (e.g. 4PDA).
2. Remove the original Wildberries app.
3. Enable installation from unknown sources in Settings → Applications → Special Access.
4. Install a modified APK and check to see if you can take screenshots.

⚠️ Note: Before installing the modified APK Create a backup of data through Settings → Memory. → Backup: If you block your account, it can take up to 30 days to recover.

Method 4: Using the Screen Recording function with a bypass

On some Xiaomi models (such as the POCO F5 or Xiaomi 12 Lite), the built-in screen recording can bypass the FlagSecure lock if you turn on the internal sound recording.

1. Open the Notification Panel and look for the Screen Record icon.
2. Click on it and select Settings → Record the internal sound.
3. Start the record, open Wildberries and find the right product.
4. Stop recording and extract the frame from the video using any video editor (such as CapCut or InShot).

This method doesn't work on all devices, but if your phone supports internal sound recording, the odds are high, and the main drawback is that the screenshot quality will be lower than if you take a direct screenshot.

Method 5: Root access and edit system files

The most radical, but also the most reliable, way is to root and manually remove FlagSecure restrictions, which is only suitable for advanced users, because:

• 🔓 Requires unlocking the bootloader (resets all data!).
• 🛠️ You need to know how to work with Magisk and ADB.
• ⚠️ Violates warranty and can lead to a "brick" of the device.

If you are ready for risk, follow the steps:

1. Unlock the bootloader through the official Xiaomi tool.
2. Install Magisk and get root access.
3. Download Disable Flag Secure for Magisk.
4. Activate the module and restart the device.

After that, screenshot blocking in Wildberries (and other apps) will be completely disabled, but remember that some banking applications (such as Sberbank Online or Tinkoff) may stop working on rooted devices.

💡

If you plan to get root, first check if your model supports official bootloader unlocking.Some devices (like the Xiaomi 13 Ultra) have protection that makes unlocking impossible without special tools.

Alternative ways to save information from Wildberries

If none of these methods worked or you don’t want to take risks, use legal alternatives:

• 📋 Favorites in the app: Add the product to the "Favorites" - so you can quickly find it later.
• 📑 Retaining the link: Copy URL send it to your messenger or notes.
• 📧 Sending to the mail: Use the "Share" function and send the product card to your email.
• 🖼️ Screenshot via browser: Open the mobile version of the Wildberries site in Chrome or Firefox - there is no lock.

These methods do not violate the rules of Wildberries and do not require technical manipulations, the main disadvantage is that you will not receive a screenshot in the usual form, but all the necessary information (price, description, photo) will be saved.

💡
