How to keep screenshots private on iPhone
Open Photos → Albums → Screenshots, move anything sensitive into an encrypted vault, then delete loose copies from Photos and Recently Deleted. Start with banking, IDs, recovery codes, and private chats.
Why screenshots are risky
They capture context: balances, addresses, message names, barcodes, portal URLs. They also sit in an album most people never audit.
15-minute cleanup
- Sort: delete now / vault / keep.
- Import keepers into Blopman.
- Delete from Screenshots and empty Recently Deleted.
- Turn off auto-saving where chat apps dump media into Photos.
