ShadeType Privacy Screen APK + MOD v1.0.6 (Premium Unlocked)
5.0
Description
With ShadeType Privacy Screen MOD APK, you can cover most of your display while typing and keep the keyboard visible. The overlay is designed to make text harder for nearby people to read without replacing the keyboard you already use.
Keyboard-based privacy veil
A small control appears above the keyboard when you begin typing. Tap it to place a dark veil over the screen, then press and hold the veil when you need to briefly check your text. Releasing it hides the text again, while the OFF control removes the veil completely.
The veil is slightly translucent, so text can remain faintly readable from close range while being difficult to read from beside you. It closes automatically when the keyboard closes.
Movable on-screen control
You can drag the control to a different part of the display so it does not cover the area where you are writing. Its position is remembered for later use.
Your existing keyboard
ShadeType Privacy Screen MOD APK does not replace your keyboard. You can continue using Gboard, SwiftKey, or another installed keyboard with its autocorrect, swipe typing, and emoji options.
Use across typing apps
The privacy veil works as a system overlay in apps where you can type. This includes messaging, email, notes, browsers, banking apps, and social media.
Free features
- The free version includes the veil, hold-to-peek action, and instant off control.
- The control can be moved and remembers its location.
- The veil turns off when the keyboard is closed.
- The app has no ads, subscription, or account requirement.
Pro settings
- You can adjust veil opacity from a light shade to almost fully dark.
- You can choose Ink, Slate, Warm, or Pure veil styles and colours.
- You can set the control size and its starting position.
- You can adjust the animation speed, including an instant option.
- You can enable auto-veil for selected apps.
- You can exclude apps where the control should not appear.
- You can use a Quick Settings tile for one-tap control.
- The app can start again automatically after a device restart.
Privacy limits
ShadeType Privacy Screen MOD APK is a software overlay rather than a polarising screen protector. It does not change the display's viewing angles or block screenshots, screen recordings, or a camera aimed at the phone.
Accessibility and data handling
The app uses Android's Accessibility Service to detect an open keyboard, its screen position, and the foreground app for per-app rules. It does not read, record, or transmit typed text, and it does not inspect the contents of other apps. Settings remain in the app's private storage, while anonymous usage counts are recorded without personal information attached.

Mod Review
This build suits people who type private messages, passwords, notes, or bank details where nearby people can see the screen. It is less suitable for anyone expecting a hardware viewing-angle filter or protection against screenshots and screen recording. It also may not suit people who avoid apps that collect app interactions, installed-app information, and device or other IDs. The latest listed change is a hotfix for the veil button.
What you get
This listing carries the Premium Unlocked MOD. The MOD is identified as Premium Unlocked, while the privacy veil, visible keyboard, hold-to-peek action, and existing-keyboard support remain part of ShadeType Privacy Screen MOD APK. Its stated accessibility behaviour remains focused on detecting the keyboard and foreground app for overlay rules. The Android build requirement is Android 8.0 or later.
Highlights
- The veil covers the surrounding display while leaving your keyboard visible, helping you continue typing in public spaces.
- Hold-to-peek lets you check text briefly, then returns the screen to its covered state when released.
- The movable control remembers its location, which helps keep it away from the text area you use.
- Per-app rules can enable the veil automatically or keep the control out of selected apps.
Things to know
- Google Play data safety information lists app interactions, installed apps, and device or other IDs as collected data.
- The veil-button hotfix may mean this modified build behaves differently until its release notes match the current version.
- The app needs Android 8.0 or later, and its download file is listed at 2.8 MB.
Should you install it?
Install it when a typing-focused overlay fits how you handle private text around other people. Before downloading, confirm that the listed veil-button hotfix matches the build you want.
FAQ
How does the hold-to-peek veil control work in ShadeType Privacy Screen?
A control appears above the keyboard when you start typing. Tap it to place the veil over the screen, then press and hold the veil to view your text briefly. Releasing the veil hides the text again, and the OFF control removes it.
What has been changed in this Premium Unlocked build of ShadeType Privacy Screen?
This build is labelled Premium Unlocked. The label identifies the MOD for this listing. The privacy overlay, visible keyboard, and hold-to-peek behaviour remain part of ShadeType Privacy Screen.
Can ShadeType Privacy Screen prevent screenshots or stop someone using a camera?
No. ShadeType Privacy Screen is a software overlay and does not change the display's hardware viewing angles. It does not block screenshots, screen recording, or a camera pointed at the phone.
What does the veil button hotfix change?
Version 1.0.6 lists a hotfix for the veil button. The veil button is the control used to enable the screen cover while typing. Whether a later update changes modified-build behaviour depends on the developer's updates and platform checks.
What Android version does ShadeType Privacy Screen require?
ShadeType Privacy Screen requires Android 8.0 or later for installation. The listed download size is 2.8 MB. Android may show a prompt about allowing installation from this source, and the decision remains yours.
