POLL: Does anyone WANT a screenshot watermark?
BPM
Level 2
To recap:
The most recent update (18.0410.2201.192) introduced a new "feature" that wasn't specified in the patch notes: it would automatically add an ROG watermark to screenshots of games added in Game Genie.
Gustav closed the thread stating that an option to disable this would be added with the next system update.
But my question is this: would anyone leave the watermark enabled?
This is merely my opinion here (and I'm interested in seeing what others think), but I think this was a dumb thing to add in the first place. It shouldn't be an option to enable/disable; it should just be completely removed. I don't see any point for the watermark as it just obstructs screenshots I'm trying to take. But hey, maybe some of you disagree and want to keep it. Hence why I'm looking for some community input.
And I'll be completely frank here: I love the ROG Phone 3. I know it's not perfect, and I will sometimes defend ASUS against complainers (notably regarding the color banding/black crush issue, since that isn't entirely within their control), but this is something they've severely disappointed me with. It wasn't something they needed to add, and they did it anyway.

I don't think you're going to get a huge list of people going "yeah I actually love installing malware".
I didn't think so, but still like to hear differing opinions.
Welp..
Majority of my friends like it, they even asking how to get that watermark?
Its not their fault if they like to showoff anyway, just let them be..
N ofc, some hate it too..
😂
But still, toggle to turn it off is needed, dont force it to ppl who hate it..
N i just know last nite, there is a menu to turn it off on rog 5s..
So its just a bug which will fixed on next update..

18.0410.2201.196 is being released today. taken from mandarin forum.
this update allow user to toggle it on or off.
personally, i dont think that this should be there, but at least its an option. Probably this feature could be for other streamers user who may have some monetary gain from advertising during their stream or sharing.
I wish they also include the update to enable own personal watermark alongside or below the rog watermark.
Im very very Proud to show offs of our own camera shots and the capability by using the rog phones camera.
I just keep wishing until then...
I just got the update. works well now. the watermark does not appear anymore.
mac donald style applause "im lovin it" yolo
Cool, just waiting now for it to be pushed to my phone (yeah, I know I can just manually download and update, but kinda prefer the OTA method).
@BPM I would like the toggle..if anyone does not they can switch it off and if anyone likes it, they can enable it.It will be one time setting. I am okay with watermark on screenshot.
Nope, I don't want that watermark. There are times where I need my screenshot to be exactly of the screen and nothing else because the screenshot is for official reasons (for example, my digital vaccination card for Covid-19 or my medical app).
