Locks itself
The vault locks when you leave the app or lock your iPhone, and after a period without touches that you choose under Auto-Lock. Locking discards the keys from memory; getting back in means drawing the pattern again.
Nothing in the app switcher
iOS takes a snapshot of every app for the app switcher. VaultBe covers its window before that snapshot is taken, so swiping through recent apps shows the app icon, or your disguise, and never a photo.
Shielded from recording and mirroring
If the screen is being recorded, mirrored or sent over AirPlay, VaultBe hides its content behind a cover for as long as that lasts.
Screenshot alerts
iOS does not let apps block screenshots, so VaultBe does the next best thing: it records them. Each vault's settings show whether a screenshot or screen recording happened while it was open. If you lent someone your unlocked phone, you will know.
Shoulder-surfing options
- Blur File Previews blurs thumbnails in the grid and list until you open an item.
- Show Drawing Pattern can be turned off so the unlock trail is invisible.
Common questions
Can VaultBe block screenshots completely?
iOS does not offer apps a reliable way to prevent screenshots. VaultBe hides content during screen recording and mirroring, and logs screenshots so you can see that one was taken.
