Capacitor plugin that prevents app content from appearing in screenshots or the app switcher on Android and iOS.
Privacy Screen is a Capacitor plugin that prevents mobile applications from displaying their content in screenshots or the recent apps view (App Switcher/Recents screen). It solves the privacy and security issue where sensitive app data could be inadvertently exposed when users switch between apps or take screenshots. The plugin works by implementing platform-specific security flags and view-hiding mechanisms on Android and iOS.
Mobile developers building hybrid apps with Capacitor that handle sensitive user data, such as financial, healthcare, or enterprise applications where preventing visual data leakage is a requirement.
Developers choose this plugin because it provides a simple, community-maintained solution for a critical privacy feature that is not natively handled by Capacitor core (prior to v7). It offers platform-native implementations, runtime control, and customization options without requiring deep platform-specific code.
