Unlocked Restrictions

TL;DR: an exteraGram 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.
