Aside from Apple Music,Spotifyis one of the most popular ways to stream music on an iPhone or iPad. In fact, Spotify is my preferred way to listen to music altogether. Still, I acknowledge that the app’s obtrusive banner for sharing any screenshots you take tends to get bothersome.

I assume that more people takescreenshotsof the Now Playing interface than would like to admit because there are a few incentives for doing so:

While I can certainly appreciate that Spotify attempted to make screenshot sharing more manageable, not everyone finds this feature helpful. Making matters worse, the developer notes how manyjailbreakershave purportedly encountered app crashes when trying to utilize the screenshot-sharing banner.

Personally, I couldn’t replicate the crash on my jailbroken device; nonetheless, I don’t particularly fancy having this banner pop up every time I snag a screenshot. If you’re in the same boat, then you should install NoSpotiScreenShot, as it will keep the banner from showing up in the Spotify app.

If you don’t see the tweak working immediately after installation, we recommend closing Spotify from yourApp Switcherand restarting it; this should get things operating correctly.

NoSpotiScreenShot doesn’t have any settings to configure and works with all jailbrokeniOS 10devices running thefree Spotify app from the App Store. NoSpotiScreenShot is a free download from Cydia’s BigBoss repository.
