- 3Hacker News·8/17/2026product_launchHow Bluesky embeds its logo in screenshots
The article explains how Bluesky makes its logo appear in screenshots by rendering the button inside an iOS secure text field layer, which iOS blanks out when a screenshot is taken. The technique is a known privacy trick also used by apps such as Telegram and Signal, though it does not behave the same during app switching. The piece frames it as an open-source implementation detail rather than a major platform change.
