But if your friend takes screenshots of sensitive information such as private keys, recovery phrases, or any account credentials. Then the joke will be on him. These can be targeted by hackers if leaked or shared inadvertently or if an authorized person gets access to his phone.
You won't be able to take screenshots of such sensitive data. Have you tried it before mate? When you take a screenshot of sensitive data on your device, wallets apps and some apps employ security measures to prevent the capture of that data. Sometimes the screenshot gives an error message or if taken returns a blank display on your screen, protecting sensitive informations from being captured. * My question is, how safe is it to keep screenshots of Bitcoin/crypto transactions and useful information, on ones device?
* How do I go about letting my friend know about such a habit of taking and keeping screenshots on his device that I have observed and warn him about it, without looking like I sense bad days coming?
Taking screenshots of transaction info might lead you into more trouble in cases like kidnapping or robbery. When you are forced to open your device and then they find so much screenshots of transaction containing huge amounts. You will be forced to transfer and be held by such persons. We should all be mindful of all data stored on our devices as you may expose yourself to threats and even more danger. We don't pray for unfortunate events but we have to be prepared for any time. Advice your friend to stop be naughty.

* My question is, how safe is it to keep screenshots of Bitcoin/crypto transactions and useful information, on ones device?
* How do I go about letting my friend know about such a habit of taking and keeping screenshots on his device that I have observed and warn him about it, without looking like I sense bad days coming?
I think it's a good idea to keep some form of documentation of our bitcoin transaction. Taking screenshots is very easy and quickly, we never know when those screenshots might come in handy. More and more countries are adopting new crypto regulations that include proofs where our crypto coins come from. Having a screenshot might not be the optimal form to document our crypto transaction, because they can be faked. But it's at least a start and we can keep track of the date of transactions even after switching wallets. As for your security concern, I understand that it can be a big problem if the wrong people get their hands on our phone. However, from the screenshots alone they won't get any access to our wallets as long as we didn't store our keys on phone as well. I think the best is to have a well secured phone, so in the case of our phone being stolen the thieves won't have access to our photos and documents. Being able to instantly lock our phone after a theft is important.

I didn't say binance as binance is a centralized exchange and thus have control of your private keys. You aren't given any keys to keep on your exchange account except password to login. Its different from what I'm trying to say here. If you want to see what I'm trying to say, you can download any mobile wallet from their store and test using a new wallet then try screenshooting your keys to see if it works.

I am concerned now however about his screenshot taking habit, because it would be more problems for him if his phone falls into wrong hands and they see screenshots of Bitcoin transactions mostly. He may have provided the information or data needed by the wrong hands or It can be assumed that he has so much and who knows what ills can come from thoughts like that.
* My question is, how safe is it to keep screenshots of Bitcoin/crypto transactions and useful information, on ones device?
* How do I go about letting my friend know about such a habit of taking and keeping screenshots on his device that I have observed and warn him about it, without looking like I sense bad days coming?
It's not a problem if someone sees his Bitcoin transactions from screenshots because the blockchain is an open book of transactions and absolutely every transaction is recorded there. Just type your Bitcoin address on any Bitcoin block explorer and you'll see a whole record of your transactions. In overall, you shouldn't keep sensitive information in a screenshot format because smartphones are not the most secure devices. When you also save something, be sure to have a backup of it stored somewhere safely. To make him sure that this is the correct step, you can show him evidences of what happens when someone doesn't take security seriously, internet is full of such accidents.

I can attest to the fact that taking screenshots of seed phrases on some wallets won't work. It would either have to be crammed or written down. How about suggesting to this my friend to save his screenshot should he still do such, in a private folder and lock it up occasionally. That is supposing he would even have the time to sit and do that work because he really is one of those busy persons that hardly sit idle.

There are just certain activities that triggers the app to limit taking screenshots. You can try it. Even when you use your laptop computer you can also screen grab. Most decentralized wallets restrict taking screenshots of applications. This is to prevent the saving of sensitive information that can be exploited by third parties. I don't think centralised platforms like Binance have such security checks in place I can attest to the fact that taking screenshots of seed phrases on some wallets won't work. It would either have to be crammed or written down.

Private folders are still prone to hacks or phishing attacks. It is totally risky to store any sensitive information on any mobile or online device because it can be stolen. I suggest you search for real-life experiences of people who have lost money due to this habit and show it to your friend. He might be able to learn better from personal experiences. If he is too busy to learn he should be prepared to pay the price of losing his funds. Some people who claim to be too busy to learn usually have enough time to search for solutions when they have problems.

I mean Bitcoin transaction, as long as these screenshots don't have some kind of sensitive information that could be a key to accessing your account, I think it is still going to be fine, even though I wouldn't really say that it is safe. Bitcoin transactions are something like a reference number of the transactions something like that, in my opinion, would make a huge problem even though people get access to it, I mean it was all public data that anyone can see and access, like Bitcoin address or something like that, I mean it is all record in the blockchain every transaction that is happening its public, so if a hacker could hack with just that information then his going to be a trillionaire already.
For the most part, if you doesnt know, most of the application that is installed on your phone can easily access your files and photos as soon as you allow it to access it, most of the social media platforms are able to do it as long as you allowed it to, but most of us are just not aware of how dangerous it could be, most of the applications for sure are collecting our data that they could use in order to sell or advertise something like that.
I would say that its not good practice doing this screenshot stuff, and i wouldn't say that it is really dangerous, your probably going to be fine doing it, but for the most part it is all ready better to be safe than regret it in the end.

Well,as for me,so long as you've clearly understand and studied privacy consciousness,some ignorant attitudes to your personal data and information should be handled and preserved with appropriate caution and safety without been told by anyone.Someone who's been vast in knowledge about one's security and privacy shouldn't be caught screenshoting sensitive informations like his or her bitcoin transaction,bitcoin wallets,keys,holdings and all other bitcoin activities.
At least we should learn from the origin of bitcoin that is bitcoin promotes anonymity and every user of bitcoin should normalize the act of ensuring that his/her privacy and personal information is thoroughly intact and secured without any failures.

I Think It's a wise decision to take screenshots of your Bitcoin or banking transaction but caution is very important to avoid any security concern. However, it is very important to save your transaction record but security privacy is very crucial to save your digital assets securely in your device. Taking Screenshots is easy but if a screenshot includes key sensitive information about private keys or recovery phrases then it will be very dangerous. That is why your friend needs to learn about the security concerns of Bitcoin and how to secure their wallet is very useful for him. I also think storing screenshots securely on a password lock device or mobile adds additional protection for any type of unauthorized access.

I don't see anything wrong in taking screenshots as long as he isn't doing that with sensitive data such as passwords, seed phrases, phone numbers, private keys, and other important stuff that one can use to access his accounts or funds in case his phone gets lost or stolen or gets in the hands of a person who could do something like that. Taking screenshots of the transactions isn't a bad thing because sometimes you might need in future for a certain transaction you did, this is mostly required when you are doing P2P trades online.
There are a lot of scammers in P2P marketplaces who would initiate trades with you, take your money, and then open disputes and stuff to get their funds back to their account while they have already taken payment from you. In such situations, you need payment screenshots that you can send to the support team to back your case.

* My question is, how safe is it to keep screenshots of Bitcoin/crypto transactions and useful information, on ones device?
The results of the screenshot will be stored on the device used. If the device used by a smartphone (iOS or Android), the results of the screenshot will be stored there. If the device used by the desktop (Windows, MacOS, etc.), the results will be stored there. We never know what will happen to the device someday. Smartphones, synonymous with online every time because almost all our smartphones use SIM cards (internet data) and have never been interrupted internet connection as long as we are still active. When something happens to our smartphone (not impossible), it does not rule out the possibility of screenshots that we do can be sabotage. Better there is a separation between online activities and offline activities that we do. I always try to separate in two lives.

At least we should learn from the origin of bitcoin that is bitcoin promotes anonymity and every user of bitcoin should normalize the act of ensuring that his/her privacy and personal information is thoroughly intact and secured without any failures.
Anything that contains any serious information, we have to be careful because anything that is even connected to the internet, your phone can be hacked and that information can be open to space. if some people have not fallen victim to something, they do not know how it feels, and they don't take things seriously. The best thing should be that if you are keeping any information, make sure you are keeping it offline. and I don't even see the reason why I will keep my Bitcoin transaction screenshot in the first place. And if anyone should even see it, it is a risk on its own. The last time I checked, a lot of investors were trying to hide their identities and I don't blame them, mostly for security reasons. and from the beginning, people loved privacy, which is why a lot of people have even given much trust to investing in Bitcoin.

* My question is, how safe is it to keep screenshots of Bitcoin/crypto transactions and useful information, on ones device?
I've done that in the past and I've read from different people that it's not safe at all if that's going to include his seeds or private keys. You're right about what if his device falls into the wrong hands and new it that he's doing something like this. * How do I go about letting my friend know about such a habit of taking and keeping screenshots on his device that I have observed and warn him about it, without looking like I sense bad days coming?
He's going to regret that but upon giving him some reminders, you've done your part already. You have to do what you have to do and if he doesn't listen to you, you have no obligations to him about that because you've already told him that it happened to some people that they're not expecting it to happen. You're not thinking him to any ill intentions but just concerned about what he does.

Hmm, OP pretty good work. I really appreciate you. OP Your friend is making a big mistake. This is a minor thing but it can cause you to lose your funds. You should explain to him and let him know that this can be a loss for you In general, people looked at the verified transaction screenshot from an unusual point of view, wondering what would happen to this transaction, and so on. but this is based on a very disadvantage. In this context, I tell you about the real incident of which I am a witness. Like OP's friend, this YouTuber had taken screenshots of his assets and used them to save them on the device. He also took a screen shot of the seed phrase or password on his device. Hackers hacked Wallet by collecting all screenshots. Sometimes Gmail automatically syncs your data and the same thing happened with him, The hacker grabbed the phrase and password from the sync data and the YouTuber lost millions of dollars. So IMH is also the same: you should not take screenshots from the device because it can cause you to lose them. The hacker is looking for such people who will have big assets so that they can be looted by making them victims of theft. So be careful Guys.

Sometimes leaving any clue on your phone that you are involved in Bitcoin transactions can put you at risk especially if you are someone that permits friends and family to use your phone. The gallery is one of the places people will always check on your phone when they have any opportunity to use it, and when they are evidence of these sort of transactions, they can become convinced that there is really something to steal from you. If they are not the type that can plan to steal from you, they will have more confidence to ask you for financial assistance more regularly because they are convinced that you can provide for them from the evidence of the kind of transactions you make regularly from screenshots. If they regularly ask you for assistance and you are the type that finds it difficult to refuse and turn down people, it can greatly affect your ability to DCA properly and even hodl well the investments that you already have.

* My question is, how safe is it to keep screenshots of Bitcoin/crypto transactions and useful information, on ones device? You have to sort of the case - I mean screenshot of bitcoin transaction are fine to save, but personal information [sensitive data] should be hidden. I also have some screenshot of bitcoin transaction - but did not screenshot any personal information [in this case like passwords, seeds or others]. Sometimes screenshot are needed to prove something - for example when you send your friend unconfirmed bitcoin even though you can include the transaction tx. * How do I go about letting my friend know about such a habit of taking and keeping screenshots on his device that I have observed and warn him about it, without looking like I sense bad days coming? You can discuss with your friends about risks - avoiding problems and how to minimize problems. Not everything involving financial transactions requires screenshots - but everyone has their own reasons for doing so. The risk tolerance of each Bitcoin user is different - so you don't need to force your will if your friend refuses.

But if your friend takes screenshots of sensitive information such as private keys, recovery phrases, or any account credentials. Then the joke will be on him. These can be targeted by hackers if leaked or shared inadvertently or if an authorized person gets access to his phone.
he doesn't even need to be the one to leak the the screenshots... As Long as he's using a smart phone, it could update and save up pictures, videos and screenshots and other important documents to the cloud... that makes it easily hackable.
You can discuss with your friends about risks - avoiding problems and how to minimize problems. Not everything involving financial transactions requires screenshots - but everyone has their own reasons for doing so. The risk tolerance of each Bitcoin user is different - so you don't need to force your will if your friend refuses.
dude was acting like he'll freeze up should he ever tell his guy about the risk involved... ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) In that case, if he refuses, then whatever happens on the long run would serve as a deterrent... But there isn't much difference with showing up your local bank details and your seed phrase -- which should ring in his ears already. Sandra 🧑🦰

Well as long as his seed phrase isn't saved or is properly encrypted and SCs only included details, then I don't think it's that much of an issue. I myself do it sometimes after all. Now for the issue of others knowing and him losing his privacy, it depends on what type of SC's he saves. The most I'd assume is just transaction details (without the private details included) but if there is some part to it like that that he saves, yeah it isn't really safe then. In those cases, you can try telling him to separate the two types? Like moving images with private details towards a PC and encrypting it (or in the phone as well if needed). A lot more work but hey, a lot safer as well than just leaving them be.
You can try sending him some YT videos that talk about privacy issues. I mean he learned Bitcoin through it so I reckon it's something he'd watch and learn properly from.

I used to take pictures when using ATM withdrawals from home. We have ATMs that allow you to make an account with the operator and send coins to the ATM from home, then go to the ATM and withdraw, but the system shows you an address and you never get any confirmation of that address, until the transaction is confirmed, so in case something went wrong and the system showed you a wrong address or did not send you a confirmation message, you might need to prove to the support that you sent it to the right address and it's the fault of the software. I don;t hold these for more than a day though. I feel like holding screenshots of bitcoin payments is safe as long as there's no passwords or seeds visible.
