iOS App Privacy Protection
Strengthen your iOS app privacy with AppMate's App Privacy Protection. Help protect sensitive content by concealing it during detected screen recording and screen mirroring sessions, and by covering app content when the app moves to the background so private screens do not appear in app-switcher previews.
Apply post-build privacy protection to your iOS app without modifying your original source code or integrating additional SDKs.
Protect Sensitive App Content Wherever It Appears
Sensitive information can be exposed in more ways than direct data access.
Apps often display private account details, financial information, internal business data, personal records, authentication steps, or proprietary workflows directly on screen. Even when the app itself is secure, displayed content may still be exposed through screen recording, screen mirroring, or app-switcher previews.
AppMate’s iOS App Privacy Protection helps reduce this risk by protecting visible content when privacy-sensitive situations are detected.
This gives your app an additional layer of visual privacy protection beyond traditional runtime and device security controls.
Advanced iOS App Privacy Protection
Screen Recording Privacy
Help protect sensitive app content during detected screen recording sessions.
When screen recording is active, AppMate can hide or cover sensitive app content so private information is less likely to be exposed in captured recordings.
Screen Mirroring Privacy
Help protect sensitive information when app content is being mirrored to another display.
AppMate can conceal private screens during detected screen mirroring activity, helping reduce unwanted exposure of sensitive app content on external displays.
App-Switcher Privacy
Protect private app content when the app enters the background.
AppMate can cover the app screen so sensitive content does not appear in iOS app-switcher previews or snapshots when users move between apps.
Post-Build Privacy Protection
Apply privacy protection after your iOS app has already been built.
No source code changes or additional SDK integration are required, allowing you to strengthen privacy for compatible IPA files through AppMate’s streamlined security workflow.
