What you can do in iOS depends not on the laws, but on the iOS version:

*How to Disable Screenshots and Recording in iOS Apps*
<https://hackernoon.com/how-to-disable-screenshots-and-recording-in-ios-apps-8l2e3tmb>

How to Prevent Screen Capture
a. In iOS 11 and above
b. Listen to notification userDidTakeScreenshotNotification
c. Then either kill the app or send the user a warning

How to Prevent Screen Recording
a. To check if a screen is getting captured/recording
b. Check the isCaptured property on UIScreen
c. Or periodically call the method isRecording

Note the existence of this iOS "ScreenShieldKit" software technology.

<https://screenshieldkit.com/> [Supports iOS 10, 11, 12, 13 & 14]
"ScreenShieldKit technology prevents screenshots of the sensitive
content in your iOS app."

*Screenshot*
Protect against a user taking a screenshot using the Top/Side
+ Home/Volume up buttons on the device.

*Screen recording*
Protect against on-device screen recordings of your app.

*QuickTime recording*
Protect against recording a video of the screen from
QuickTime Movie Recording.

*Screen mirroring*
Protect against attempts to use AirPlay Screen Mirroring
to copy sensitive content.

*Xcode screenshot*
Protect against screenshots taken from Xcode by developers using their Mac.

*App switcher*
Protect against screenshots taken from the app switcher,
when your app isn't in the foreground.

This is a recent article on the subject of preventing screen capture on iOS:
*How do I restrict a screenshot on iOS?*

People who don't "just give up" can always find a way to record the screen.

I easily bypassed the Android security policy preventing screenshots simply
by mirroring my Android phone onto Windows using a free Windows executable.

To mirror Android on Windows over USB:
C:\> adb devices
C:\> scrcpy
Both commands are in this zip file <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy>

To mirror Android on Windows over Wi-Fi:
C:\> adb connect 192.168.0.2:5555
C:\> scrcpy
Where the "192.168.0.2" is the IP address of your phone on your LAN.

To take a movie of the entire session (on either USB or over Wi-Fi):
C:\> scrcpy --record file.mp4

To perfectly screenshot just the phone window on demand in Windows:
C:\> Irfanview
Irfanview:Options/Capture Screenshot > (o)Foreground window - Client area
File name: capture_$U(%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)_###
(Or you can automatically capture every half second or whatever)

I asked the same question of screenshot mirroring on the child-like Apple
newsgroup that I had asked on both the Android & Windows adult OS newsgroups
but all that resulted kindergarten responses typical of Apple newsgroups.
*Can you mirror your iPhone/iPad onto your Windows PC*
<https://groups.google.com/g/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/c/6Oc1eLcB7uM>

I don't know yet as I haven't tried, but I suspect the reason the iOS users
turned into instant children is perhaps the functionality simply doesn't
exist for the iOS users (and that's what they _hate_ most about Apple).

You always amaze me that you're the only iKook who actually knows anything
about iOS (all the other iKooks know even less than I do about iOS).

What was interesting is that the "ScreenShieldKit" purported to detect the
use of Apple-specific screen mirroring techniques such as "AirPlay" &
"Xcode" on Apple-specific products such as the mac; (but they don't mention
the FOSS type I'm using for Android from GitHub and running on Windows).

The main question is whether there is a FOSS solution for screen mirroring
for my iOS devices onto my Windows computer.

I asked that question but the only responses were kindergarten ones
(which are typical childish responses always found in the Apple newsgroups).
*Can you mirror your iPhone/iPad onto your Windows PC?*
<https://groups.google.com/g/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/c/6Oc1eLcB7uM>

I also asked on the adult PC newsgroup, and that garnered adult responses:
*How do you mirror your Android phone onto your Windows PC?*
<https://groups.google.com/g/alt.comp.microsoft.windows/c/eMYBmpq2H50>

Note it's always only the Apple OS newsgroups which are almost completely
filled with little children who _hate_ any questions about functionality.

All I care about at the moment is to find a FOSS tool that mirrors my iPad
onto my Windows computer.

Do you know anything about that?

OK. I'll accept that. I'm not even going to look at your previous response
because we've all been on Usenet for decades. It's water under the bridge.

All I care about on the Android & iOS newsgroups are three things:
1. Learning from others
2. Teaching others
3. Showing that the iKooks are utter morons who are always full of shit

The latter is because I despise cruel despicable unprepossessing people.
a. As long as you teach me or learn from me, I'll respect you.
b. And as long as you don't act like the iKooks do, I'll respect you.

Much like these commands are simple mirrors of what's on the Android phone,
I'm a simple mirror of your intent.

Hence I openly apologize to you if I errantly thought you had claimed I was
"stealing" an image which, let's be clear, is provided for free by the app.

It's impossible to insult me but I will defend against any insults save for
those from the 40-IQ morons like Snit, Alan Baker, Your Name, Haemactylus,
Jolly Roger, Wilf, Rod Speed, Joerg, Lewis, et. al.

Carlos has, at times, acted much like an adult should, in that, for example,
he read (and understood!) the cites I provided on Covid, and he even
provided a valid cite of his own regarding a Singapore study - which is
something most of you iKooks don't have the capacity to perform.

You are different from the other iKooks as your IQ actually approaches
normal (it's below normal - probably around 80 - but it's still double that
of the other iKooks) as you _can_ process details when they are details in
support of Apple products.

The funny thing is that you always support Apple bullshit, no matter what.
It's as if your brain is fed directly from the Apple web site what to think.

You don't have the capacity of independent thought processes outside Apple.
But what's more indicative of your low IQ is that all your excuses are that
of a kindergarten child in that they're not even consistent.

You only have a half dozen responses to fact that you don't like about
Apple. The first is to simply deny the fact. When that doesn't work, you
follow a predictable cavalcade of excuses including you claim that the
functionality exists when it doesn't. And you'll claim that Apple has no
free will. And you'll claim that Google or Samsung or Microsoft made Apple
remove all the functionality that Apple removes.

You'll actually claim that "battery chemistry" that is specific only to
Apple is what caused the throttling PR disaster - where the funny thing is
that people like you actually _believe_ Apple has a special battery
chemistry that only operates on certain iPhones and even then, only with
certain iOS versions on those iPhones.

That you actually _believe_ that stuff - shows your IQ can't be even normal,
since any normal person would realize instantly that Apple boldly lied.

You'll also end up resorting to ad hominem attacks at the very end, even
resorting to kindergarten tricks like "ftfy", which is a clear sign of a
rather low IQ because you have no _adult_ defense to facts.

Yet... after proving you are a child with a rather low IQ, the funny thing
that differentiates you from most of the other iKooks is that you _can_
process technical detail at the level that Steve can, and perhaps even Alan
Browne or Chris can process facts _almost_ at the level that you can.

That's what's so _different_ about you, nospam.
You're _not_ exactly like the rest of the iKooks.

You're _different_ (in a good way).
You do have the capacity of adult thought processes - but - only when those
adult thought processes _benefit_ your concept of what Apple is and does.

It's almost as if you're paid by Apple to defend them on Usenet, nospam.
(Much like it's as if Steve is paid by Verizon to shill them on Usenet.)

The rest of the iKooks can't process details, but you and Alan Browne and
maybe Chris, can process details at the level of a high school kid - which
isn't bad for an iKook (the rest are at the kindergarten level).

I find it interesting that because you, nospam, can't figure out how to do
something, you often say it's _illegal_ such as you do with automatic call
recording.

You did the same with jailbreaking, claiming, years ago, it was copyright
infringement (although in a way, it does apply under US copyright law).

You did it with torrenting also, where I proved that there are _zero_
successful US court cases where the defendant challenged the charges, that
the defendant has ever lost. (You and I discussed, years ago, that there was
one "Malibu" set of Los Angeles cases where the lawyers were eventually
disbarred since they were actually purposefully seeding the movies that they
then brought lawsuits against the defendents for torrenting, as I recall.)

As for copyright, most people are stupid such that they can't handle the
complexity of basic "fair use" copyright law as it applies in the USA.

This scrcpy is kind of like ffmpeg or wget or Irfanview, where everything

The README shows how to do everything that I was asking about
a. Pinch to zoom with a mouse

<https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy#readme>

There is one other problem which is adb is a bit flaky on my network
(probably because my network is hardened to not allow re-connects).

Luckily there is a solution which is summarized by this sequence below:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37267335/android-studio-wireless-adb-error-10061

When you get the error while trying Wi-Fi connections:
C:\> adb connect 192.168.0.2:5555
adb connect 192.168.0.2:5555 cannot connect to 192.168.0.2:5555:
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (10061)

1. Connect the phone to USB
2. Check that the phone is also connected to your Wi-Fi network
Ping your gateway from the PC or from Termux on the phone if necessary.
3. adb kill-server
4. adb tcpip 5555
5. Disconnect the phone from the USB cable any time after that command
6. adb connect 192.168.0.2 (you can also use adb connect 192.168.0.2:5555)
8. adb devices
9. scrcpy
scrcpy --tcpip
scrcpy --tcpip=192.168.0.2:5555

yes i do.

the question you meant to ask is if i'm interested in telling you what
i know about it, and the answer to that is a resounding no.

it should be somewhat entertaining to watch you flail about as you
usually do, likely ending up with the most convoluted and insane
solution possible to do something that's actually quite simple, then
whining about how it's all apple's fault.

The spirit of news groups is a community of people who actually *want* to

sidelines, being smug, and not passing on their knowledge or experiences. I
worked for a manager like that who wouldn't pass on any of his knowledge,
even if it benefited his company (the company was owned by two partners with
several employees). He spent a lot of time wandering round the office,
looking over people's shoulders, muttering "yes, that's easy" or "it's in
one of those books over there". But he wouldn't pass on any of his knowledge
and called everyone "incompetent" or "clueless" because they weren't as

because it's 'arlen' asking, who doesn't actually want an answer.

he will reject anything anyone suggests and then rant about how it
doesn't work, despite it doing exactly what he asked for, mostly
because he doesn't know what he's doing, along with the rest of his
usual idiotic bullshit rants.

Notice the "FOSS" qualifier in "Andy Burnelli's" request.

There are non-FOSS solutions that are not very expensive, i.e.
Mirroring360 which is $11.99 per receiving computer. That sounds cheap
until you realize that you probably are going to want to mirror your
screen to multiple computers and that you might not even have the
ability to install this software on the computer that you want to mirror to.

Personally I have not seen a FOSS solution to mirror an iPhone screen to
a Windows PC, and I've looked for one in the past. There are free trials
of some of the paid solutions. It hasn't been issue for me since I have
an Android phone that I can use when I need to do this.

There's an article about this issue here:
<https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/mirror-your-iphone-screen-on-a-computer>.

I also have this in "The Document"
<https://tinyurl.com/iOS-Android-Features> as #157a on page 66.

157a. Screen mirroring to Windows PCs. You can mirror your Android
phone’s screen to your Windows PC, for free, using Microsoft's Phone
Link App (see
<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/your-phone/9nmpj99vjbwv>). For the
iPhone and iPad, it’s possible to do screen mirroring to a Windows PC
but it isn’t free, i.e. Mirroring360 which is $11.99 per receiving
computer. There's an article about this here:
<https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/mirror-your-iphone-screen-on-a-computer>.
There are free trials of some of the paid solutions. ✓

But if there's a FOSS solution for mirroring the iPhone and/or iPad to a
Windows PC, that nospam knows about, I'd of course include it. It's
typical behavior of nospam to insist that he knows an answer to
someone's question but to play these kinds of games.

You must be new here. The person "asking" for this information is
trolling. He spends every hour of every day trolling the Apple news
groups under various nyms and doesn't actually want or deserve anyone's

bullshit you've searched.

there are *several* free options for mirroring an iphone to windows,
which are *easily* found in a search.

in fact, did another search just now and found a few new ones.

the method is not proprietary and anyone can write such a utility
(assuming they're not clueless like some people here).

it also looks like you are using 'foss', as your troll-buddy 'arlen',
aka andy burnelli does, to be able to reject any suggestion made.

an incomplete article, which looks like a puff piece for the software

yet another thing about it that's incorrect.

you're not interested in learning how because it doesn't fit your

the only games are yours.

you know quite well you won't include anything i say because i
consistently show you to be totally wrong for nearly everything in that
'document' (and other topics too).

you also won't include anything several other people say which also
show you to be wrong.

the most bizarre one is your ridiculous claim that face id won't work
in the dark, when that's actually where it works the best, for reasons
that should be obvious.

just yesterday you claimed that accessing apple wallet requires
unlocking the phone. it does not.

so much of what you say is wrong. just about all of it, in fact.

it would help if you actually used an iphone before creating a
'document' about it. at least then it might be somewhat accurate rather
than a cesspool of easily refuted propaganda bullshit.

Steve,

You know _all_ my solutions, for decades, are FOSS solutions.
So that's not a new qualifier at all since all my tutorials are FOSS.

In fact, you also know we _already_ have an _Android_ FOSS solution.
<https://i.postimg.cc/63jvT33r/linktopc01.jpg>

As far as I know, that FOSS solution has _never_ been covered in either the
Windows or the Android newsgroup before - so it's _new_ information (AFAIK).

That's more value in one thread than the entirety of posts by the iKooks in
the history of Usenet, Steve, if I do say so myself.

All my solutions are FOSS.

So don't make it sound as if being FOSS is a "special" requirement.
The reason for FOSS is that _everyone_ can benefit instantly.

I'm a good hearted intelligent and helpful person who is writing a tutorial
(which you know from the Android & Windows newsgroup discussions) on how
_anyone_ can use a FOSS solution to mirror their Android phone on Windows.

What's missing is the section about iOS doing the same thing.

I looked before I asked. You know I always do that.
If I ask for it, then it's not obvious whether it can be found for iOS.

But maybe nospam knows what he "claims" to know. (heh heh heh)

Steve,
You _know_ I write general-use tutorials always using FOSS software; and you
know I asked the _same_ question on the adult operating system newsgroups -
where you know that the response only on the iOS newsgroups devolves to
kindergarten responses.

The only known iOS solutions so far are these apps, none of which are FOSS,
but _one_ of which will do the job if people don't mind the nagging prompts.

https://www.mirroring360.com
https://www.airserver.com/buy
https://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector
https://www.lonelyscreen.com/download.html

As always, I am on the phone Usenet newsgroups to both learn from other
people and to impart knowledge on a vast number of others (often via
step-by-step tutorials which always use FOSS software so that they can be
used right away by everyone to benefit).

Ooops. Wrong screenshot for the FOSS solution!
<https://i.postimg.cc/N0G1TXcZ/scrcpy01.jpg> Mirror Android on any PC

The "Link to PC" stuff came about from the _adult_ discussion on the _adult_
operating system newsgroups (never are the Apple newsgroups adult dialog).
*How do you mirror your Android phone on your Windows computer?*
<https://groups.google.com/g/alt.comp.microsoft.windows/c/eMYBmpq2H50>

For the Android folks to benefit from knowledge gleaned on the Windows ng:
<https://groups.google.com/g/alt.comp.microsoft.windows>

The _free_ Windows "Phone Link" app is located here:
<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/phone-link/9nmpj99vjbwv#activetab=pivot:overviewtab>

The Link To Windows Android app is located here:
*Link to Windows* by Microsoft Corporation
free, ad free, req GSF, rated 3.9, 500M+ installs
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.appmanager>

It turns out that some Samsung phones (like mine) already come with the
phonelink software pre installed, which we found out in that adult dialog.
<https://i.postimg.cc/L5gnX3GS/linktopc07.jpg>

This is a summary of what Microsoft says that app combination does:
a. Get instant access to everything you love on your phone from your PC.
b. Link your Android phone and PC to view and reply to text messages
c. Make and receive calls over Bluetooth
d. View your notifications
e. Share your favorite images between your phone and PC
f. Copy, edit, and even drag and drop photos without touching your phone
g. Wirelessly dragging and dropping your files from your phone to your PC
h. Wirelessly dragging and dropping your files from your PC to your phone

In summary, we have multiple free solutions, one of which is super powerful
and FOSS and the other of which has additional Bluetooth functionality for
Android.

Hence, for the tutorial I'm writing, it's only natural to seek the same kind
of free functionality for my iOS devices so that everyone can benefit when I
publish the cross-platform tutorial (which almost all of mine are).

Thanks for taking a stab at answering what is in effect a difficult question
to answer (where I asked the same question on the Android & Windows
newsgroups and the responses on both were very useful and always adult).

I already wrote the tutorial for using FOSS software to mirror Android on
Windows and I was just trying to add the same FOSS solution for iOS mirrors.

I want _everyone_ to benefit, including you and me (both of us use both iOS
and Android devices every single day, and many people have families who use
both as we also do).

For Android, it's so simple that it's clever, in that it's a single command:
Mirror Android on Windows on USB: C:\> scrcpy
Mirror Android on Windows on LAN: C:\> scrcpy --tcpip=192.168.0.2:5555

It's sooooo simple that it's ingenious and it's all FOSS software so the
amount of added functionality in the options will blow your mind away (it's
similar to that of ffmpeg, irfanview, youtubedl, wget, etc. in terms of
they've thought of every freakin' option you'd ever want to do already!).
<https://i.postimg.cc/N0G1TXcZ/scrcpy01.jpg> Mirror Android on any PC

Now all I want to do is add an iOS mirroring onto Windows section to the
nascent tutorial, where I just _love_ how easy it is on Android and I was
hoping it would be as easy to do for iOS so that everyone would benefit.

Rest assured I researched on iOS FOSS solutions before I posted where I was
hoping to find someone (anyone) on the iOS newsgroups who knew more than I
did - but so far, nobody can find a FOSS solution where the best solution,
so far anyway, is the trialware that turns into nagware if you abuse it.

https://www.lonelyscreen.com ($15/year but can be used as trialware nagware)
https://www.mirroring360.com ($12 per mirrored computer)
https://www.airserver.com ($20 per license)
https://www.airsquirrels.com ($20 reflector + $18 airparrot or $34 bundle)

While nospam pretends to have a better solution, I, like you, doubt he does.
But we'll see as all I want is a FOSS solution for iOS screen mirroring.

It's something _everyone_ could benefit from, don't you think?

To that goal, if someone on this newsgroup knows more than I do about
FOSS screen mirroring of iOS onto Windows, please let us know what you know.

This is yet another indication that you have an extremely low IQ nospam,
since any _adult_ would know that I always ask for FOSS apps on _all_
platforms.

In the Silicon Valley startups, they'd fire you in days if they told you
something and then you made your assessment as if you never were told that.

I've never met people as ignorant as you are in my entire life, nospam.

For you to claim that I don't always ask for FOSS apps in all the platforms,
just is further explicit proof of how shockingly stupid all you iKooks are.

Heh heh heh... I only looked for about ten or fifteen minutes and I probably
know more now than you do and even more than you ever will about them in
your entire life nospam. You're _that_ shockingly stupid.

The proof of how stupid you are nospam is the answer to this question.

Note: I can tell you have no education whatsoever because you couldn't pass
a single class in college or graduate school always being so very wrong.

Oh yeah. Let's hear them nospam.
*NAME JUST ONE*

Note both Steve and I listed a bunch of apps, none of which are free; but at
least we listed the apps we found, whereas these iKooks can never come up
with the facts.

It's further proof of my claim that all the iKooks have shockingly low IQs.
They can't even back up a _single_ claim they make with even a single fact.

> in fact, did another search just now and found a few new ones.

Again, the fact that nospam makes these claims is indicative of his
shockingly low IQ because, like a small child who says he did his homework,
he never seems to be able to find it in his backpack to give to the teacher.

*NAME JUST ONE*

It's interesting that it's nospam who is clueless since he's the one who is
making claims that he can't back up - and yet his defense is that everyone
else is clueless as he already gave us the answer a hundred times will be
his _next_ response.

Another way to tell nospam has an extremely low IQ is that all his excuses
for why he doesn't have his homework that he claimed he did can be predicted
_years_ in advance.

His brain can't even come up with a better excuse than it's in the bag.
And yet, it's not.

Again, you'd be fired if you made assessments like that in any Silicon
Valley startup nospam because any _adult_ knows that I _always_ use FOSS
apps.

Most people on Usenet are cowards, so nobody is going to back up that claim,
but I know it's true and that means you are incredibly ignorant, nospam.

The fact _all_ your assessments are dead wrong is how I know you not only
have an extremely low IQ, but that you hang around dumb people who _believe_
your bullshit, nospam.

But no adult believes that you did your homework since you can never produce
it.

Name a single FOSS app that does it for iOS on Windows, nospam.
*NAME JUST ONE*

The fact you can't, and yet that you say you can, is a sure indicator that
your IQ is so low that you don't even realize that everyone else knows this.

Heh heh heh... you sound just like the Russian Foreign Minister when he
tried to push his "Humanitarian" resolution in the UN Security Council.

The fact is _YOU_ are the one for whom FOSS doesn't fit _your_ narrative.
It _always_ fit mine.

Again, you sound like Sergey Lavrov and, in fact, you could be his twin.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Lavrov

It's _you_ who is playing the games here.
The rest of us want to know if there is a FOSS Windows iOS mirroring app.

And, so far, neither Steve nor I can find it and yet you claim they abound.

I'll include it in my tutorial nospam since I'm the one asking for a FOSS
Windows iOS mirroring app and you're the one claiming they abound.

*NAME JUST ONE*

You and Sergey Lavrov are the same in how you make these claims that are
patently untrue simply because _YOU_ claimed that the FOSS Windows iOS
mirroring apps abound and all the rest of us are asking you is name one.

BTW, as an intelligent, well educated person (in stark contrast to nospam
and the rest of the ill-educated low-IQ iKooks), I _test_ out all freeware
suggestions, and, in fact, I just tested for Andy Burns the "Cards" app,
which, to the point of this thread, does NOT allow screenshotting (heh heh).
<https://i.postimg.cc/90pQ60PS/cards05.jpg> Added a VISA & an insurance ID

For those who don't know it, the Cards app is a free encrypted wallet that
can store your ID cards _without_ you having to log into anything.

Snapping that screenshot was trivial on Window because I mirror Android over
Wi-Fi with a simple command on Windows (and zero added software on Android).

The problem with the iKooks like Jolly Roger & nospam is that they think
everyone is as incredibly low IQ as they have - which is why spending a half
hour googling will reveal more than they ever will know in their entire life

For two days now I've been both using the phone in my hands, and mirrroting
the phone at my desktop monitor (both working at the same time), which is
really convenient. You can leave it on the charger, for example, and still
use it on your computer - which again - you can do anything that you want.

About the only gotcha that was left was that it wasn't intuitive how to get
the copy and paste working between the two platforms - but I figured it out.

The MOD key for my phone is apparently the left alt key and not the Windows
key (also known as the "Super" key in the scrcpy readme file).

For some reason unknown to me as yet, the Shift key is also required.

Hence, if I want to paste a long URL from Windows into the mirrored phone
Pulse SMS app, on Windows I select and copy the URL normally with Control+C.

Then in Pulse SMS on the mirrored Android screen, I press the Shift and the
Left Alt key and the V key to paste that long URL from Windows to Android.

To go the other way, I select & copy the text using the normal Android
methods (usually you long press and deal with the "select all" stuff) and
then the paste back into Windows is just a normal Control+V sequence.

From the README at <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy#readme>

--legacy-paste
Inject computer clipboard text as a sequence of key events on Ctrl+v
(like MOD+Shift+v).
This is a workaround for some devices not behaving as expected when
setting the device clipboard programmatically.

MOD+v
Copy computer clipboard to device, then paste (inject PASTE keycode,
Android >= 7 only)

MOD+Shift+v
Inject computer clipboard text as a sequence of key events

So far _all_ the things I needed to do have been in the options, including
hitting the hardware buttons using various "Left Alt" MOD key combinations.

MOD+Up
Click on VOLUME_UP

MOD+Down
Click on VOLUME_DOWN

In summary, pretty much it does everything you'd want it to do, where it's
so convenient, you can keep the phone on your screen all day while you're
using the phone in your hands such that you can use the phone even if it's
fifty feet away from you.

In fact, I used it to snap pictures of a fox outside when I kept the camera
on, and then when I saw the vixen, I snapped a picture without the fox ever
knowing I was watching her. :)

Since you can likely run _multiple_ Android devices on your desktop monitor,
you can turn any spare Android phone into a remote "keyhole camera" of
sorts.

Update.

The summary below is posted because I'm an intelligent, kind-hearted,
purposefully helpful netizen who cares that others can do what I was
able to do given a few hours learning how to mirror Android perfectly
on Windows (where all the tricks below were learned on this newsgroup!).
<https://i.postimg.cc/N0G1TXcZ/scrcpy01.jpg> Mirror Android on any PC
<https://i.postimg.cc/tTmdgKTB/scrcpy02.jpg> An efficient program setup
<https://i.postimg.cc/Vvrq0K0m/scrcpy03.jpg> The efficient setup explained

SUMMARY:
To mirror Android on Windows over Wi-Fi or USB, tap the custom shortcut.
Or tap the taskbar Run icon & enter "scrcpy<return>".
To screenshot _just_ the Android window, press "Ctrl+LeftArrow"
Voila!

The dozen well-organized setups below are how _all_ programs should be set up.
0. The {adb,scrcpy} FOSS zip file is at <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy>
1. The executable is saved in c:\archive\editor\android\scrcpy\scrcopy.zip
2. The program is installed to c:\app\editor\android\scrcpy\{adb,scrcpy}.exe
3. The shortcut is saved to c:\menu\editor\android\scrcpy.lnk
4. The menu is pinned to the taskbar (note all hierarchies mirror each other)
5. The apppath RUN command is: Win+R > scrcpy
6. That runs [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\scrcpy.exe]
7. Which is defined as: [@Default=c:\menu\editor\android\scrcpy.lnk]
8. The TARGET is: %comspec% /k cd /d "c:\app\editor\android\scrcpy" && adb connect 192.168.0.2:5555 && scrcpy --always-on-top --tcpip=192.168.0.2:5555
9. The ICON is: c:\icon\editor\android\scrcpy\scrcpy.ico
10. From: https://cdn4.iconfinder.com/data/icons/smart-phones-technologies/512/android-phone-color.png
11. The mount command is: net use Z: \\192.168.0.2@8080\DavWWWRoot /USER:andy burnelli
12. The Irfanview capture command is: capture_$U(%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)_###

Those dozen setup steps make running & managing screen mirroring easy!
a. To mirror Android, just type "scrcpy" on Windows
(Zero software needs to be on Android as this is transparent to Android!)
b. You can save from Windows _directly_ to Android since _all_ of Android is
mounted as a drive letter (the entire phone, even the read-only system!)
c. You can paste the Windows clipboard to Android with "Shift+Leftalt+V"
(all other cut/copy/paste commands work as you are already used to)
d. You can operate Android hardware buttons using that "LeftAlt" MOD key
(e.g., "LeftAlt+UpArrow" presses the volume up key by one notch each time)
<https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy#readme>

As always, if you can find a way to _improve_ this process, please post your
added value as Usenet is where purposefully helpful kind-hearted people help
each other by sharing the knowledge as a team sport for the benefit of all!

Steve & I both ran a search but nospam claims we're too stupid to find the
many solutions to the stated problem that nospam says he knows of offhand.

Woo hoo!

Today I needed to screenshot the Android phone from Windows over Wi-Fi by
putting the Android phone into "scroll" mode, which requires simultaneous
pressing of _two_ hardware buttons & then a subsequent tapping on a box
containing a "scroll down" icon that then pops up on the Android screen.

Given the FOSS scrcpy developers (actually, it was Genymotion who donated
the src apparently) have apparently thought of everything, it was easy.

The hardware buttons to press simultaneously are:
a. Power Key
b. Volume Down key

That was accomplished by pressing, in Windows the:
MOD key + downarrow (i.e., the volume down key) & p (i.e., the power key)

Essentially the left hand holds down the MOD key (aka the leftalt key).
And the right hand simultaneously presses the downarrow & p keyboard keys.

You need big hands, where, luckily, mine are XXL so it's no problem for me.

BTW, you can even expand and collapse the notification panel:
a. Expand Notification Panel === Mod + n
b. Collapse Notification Panel === Mod + Shift + n

But one of the _neatest_ tricks was the drag and drop of an APK file!
<https://i.postimg.cc/wvsbcNBz/scrcpy05.jpg>

Literally, you drag _any_ APK from your PC file system onto the mirrored
Android Window, and it's _silently_ completely installed automatically!

How kewl is that!

If you consider that a WebDAV server mounts the _entire_ Android phone
system (even the system root filesystem!) onto Windows as a drive letter,
coupled with the FOSS Google Play Store client _not_ deleting APKs after
they're installed off of the Google Play Store... then you have complete
drag-and-drop access to _all_ the APKs you've ever installed - on _multiple_
phones which are on your LAN - all completely seamlessly and silently!
<https://i.postimg.cc/hjkVFyqJ/scrcpy07.jpg> Android mounted as a Win drive

This FOSS Windows scrcpy program is an instant keeper!
<https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy>

It's so simple... the developers have thought of almost everything already!

I'm not ashamed to admit just a few days ago I was ignorant of the ease of
not only bypassing all Android recording restrictions, but also of how well
this FOSS software works to allow operation of Android on Windows over WiFi.

You can sit at your computer with your phone on a charger fifty feet away,
and you can still control the phone using the Windows PC mouse & keyboard
(and the phone grows to 20 inches from 6.5 inches for those tired old eyes).

When I asked on the other operating system newsgroups how people do it, the
_adult_ operating system newsgroups added tremendous value to the setup:
<https://groups.google.com/g/alt.msdos.batch/c/DmexCLwn_tM>
<https://groups.google.com/g/alt.comp.microsoft.windows/c/eMYBmpq2H50>

Only on the child-like Apple operating system newsgroup was there no value.
<https://groups.google.com/g/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/c/6Oc1eLcB7uM>

In fact, as usual, the child-like Apple owners deprecated the mere hint that
anyone would want to be able to do something Apple didn't provide to them.

It's always the case with these Apple child-like operating system newsgroups
that the _same_ question asked of them garners child-like responses that
never appear on the _adult_ operating systems newsgroups (see above proof).

Nonetheless, the goal is to learn how to wrest control over the device,
where it's _fantastic_ how well FOSS smartphone mirroring works on PCs.

> How do you bypass an app's security policy against taking screenshots?

With Vysor, we can bypass screenshots remotely, across the Internet!

To summarize, I tested the following solutions for screen copy screenshots:
a. Screencopy scrcpy freeware
<https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy#readme>
b. Vysor freeware/payware
<https://github.com/koush/vysor.io/wiki>
c. PB freeware port of the PushBullet payware
<https://sidneys.github.io/pb-for-desktop/>
All of which work on Windows, macOS, and Linux desktops with Android.

Vysor even (supposedly) works with iOS (although it's a beta apparently).
<https://github.com/koush/vysor.io/wiki/Vysor-for-iOS>
(This tool we found even the Apple iOS newsgroup folks aren't aware of.)

I tried to set Vysor up with iOS and it failed but it also requires Apple
Mobile Device Support typical Apple clusterfuckware on Windows, which failed
when I tried installing it. It would probably work on a non-hardened PC.
"Vysor on Windows and Linux requires the Vysor for iOS companion app.
Currently Vysor for iOS is in Beta.
You must install TestFlight from the AppStore, and then join the beta
to get access to the Vysor for iOS app.
