Android Screencast icon and Permission Popup Issue and Its Solution

Let’s start to resolve the issue towards the screencast problem that our customers face.

What is screencasting? It’s the process of recording the activity on your device’s screen. Now, what issues do our users face when they want to record their screen? And most importantly, what’s the solution? How can we help you create videos without any hassle?

Screencast” is a process of recording, capturing your phone screen to be recorded or to share it with another one using system or third-party apps. Additionally, TheOneSpy offers the advanced capability to remotely and discreetly record screen videos from target devices without alerting the users.

In many devices, there is a security feature that alerts you when any app is capturing your screen, whether in the form of a screenshot or screen recording. This is indicated by a screencast icon that appears on the status bar, informing you that your current screen has been accessed, read, or viewed by an app. This icon is named the “Screencast” icon.

This icon is shown when our app is recording screens, capturing screenshots, or while on the Live Screen. To solve this issue, follow the below steps:-

Step 1:

Open the browser, paste the below link to the address bar, and hit Enter

Step 3:

In the Android world, if any app wants to cast a phone screen as a screenshot or screen recording, it must obtain screencast permission. Previously, this was a straightforward process. However, with the introduction of Android OS 14 and above, this permission prompt now appears repeatedly whenever our app needs to record the screen, take a screenshot, or during a live Screen session. We believe in keeping you informed about these actions to ensure your awareness and understanding of the implications for privacy.

This issue can be easily resolved by following the uncomplicated steps outlined below:

Step 1:
