To enable ‘Flags Menu’, launch Chrome on your Android device.
When Chrome is ready, tap the address bar. Type “chrome://flags” (Without Quotes) and hit ‘Enter’. (As shown in the image below).
Now, Chrome’s flags screen appears. Here, tap the search box at the top and search for “Incognito Screenshot”(without quotes definitely).
You’ll see the ‘Incognito Screenshot’ option in the search results. Tap the drop-down menu beneath this option and select ‘Enabled’ from it.
If you ever want to disable this option after enabling it, choose ‘Disabled’ from this menu.
That’s it. Now you need to relaunch Chrome to get effect on changes. Tap ‘Relaunch’ in the bottom-right corner of your screen to close and then re-open Chrome.
