I finally stopped cropping screenshots like a maniac after one comment

I used to crop every single screenshot I took down to the exact pixel, leaving no background at all. Last month my friend saw one I sent her and said "your screenshots look like a ransom note made of phone clippings." That stung because she was right. I was spending 5 minutes trimming each image in my gallery editor, trying to hide the time stamp and my messy notification bar. Now I just leave a little border around the edges and it looks way more normal. It's crazy how one roast changed my whole screenshot game. Has anyone else gotten weirdly harsh feedback on their phone editing habits?

So you honestly think a little border looks unfinished? Like it genuinely bothers you or is it more of a preference thing?

Nah, I'm the opposite actually. I like when screenshots look clean and isolated. A border or background just feels like clutter to me. I crop tight because I want the focus to be on whatever I'm sharing, not on the extra space around it. Your friend's comment was funny but honestly, a little border doesn't make it more "normal" to me, it just makes it look unfinished.
