US Patent 12130948 Screen capture data protection for managed devices

Examples herein include methods for dynamically protecting selective content during screen capture on a user device that is running an iOS operating system. The method includes extending a UI class that includes a protected field of an iOS class. The custom class can receive configuration data and determine which elements to protect. The protected elements can be placed within the protected field whereas the non-protected elements can be kept outside of the protected field. The operating system can hide the protected field and its contents during screen capture, while allowing additional content outside the protected field to remain displayed.
