Unlocked Restrictions
**TL;DR:** an [exteraGram](https://exteragram.app) plugin that allows screenshots and
forwarding (as a copy) in chats with protected content.
## Description
Unlocked Restrictions lifts the "restrict saving content" protection on your own device:
screenshots work everywhere, messages from protected chats can be forwarded as copies, and
protected chats are marked with a red lock. Each feature has its own switch in the plugin
settings, all on by default, and toggles take effect without reloading the plugin.
## Features
- **Allow screenshots.** Screenshots and screen recording work in protected chats, secret
chats and on the passcode screen.
- **Allow forwarding.** The forward, copy and save options appear in protected chats.
Forwarding a protected message, from the long-press menu or the side share button, sends
it to the chosen chat as a new message from your account, with no "Forwarded from" header.
Text keeps its formatting, media and albums are re-sent, and unprotected messages in the
same selection are still forwarded normally.
- **Mark protected chats.** A red lock before the chat's name in the chat list, the chat
header and the chat info screen.
Some content can't be copied: buttons, games and invoices are dropped; polls, dice, stories,
giveaways and paid media are skipped (their text is still sent). Copied videos have no
preview thumbnail, and the lock covers groups and channels, not private chats.
