Prevent screenshots of a handover

Pro

When you seal a handover, you can decide what happens on a screenshot. Here is what that does and where the limit is.

How it works

  1. While sealing, open the Conditions section.
  2. Under Screenshots, pick a setting: Allowed, Prevent or Prevent and delete.
  3. With Prevent, screenshots and screen recordings on the recipient’s side only show a black area.
  4. With Prevent and delete, Vanish also deletes the handover as soon as iOS reports a screenshot.
  5. Tap Create file as usual.

Good to know

  • Screenshot protection is Pro. The recipient doesn’t need Pro for it.
  • iOS has no official feature for this. If Vanish can’t prevent screenshots on a device, it tells the recipient, and a screenshot then deletes the handover.
  • No app can stop a second phone from photographing the screen.
  • While a screen recording is running, Vanish hides received content.
