How to Hide Phone Numbers and Addresses in a Screenshot

Steps

1. Take your screenshot, then open PrivShot and import it.
2. PrivShot scans the text and blurs phone numbers, addresses, ID/passport numbers, bank card numbers, and company credit codes it finds.
3. On the review screen, switch each category on or off to match what you want hidden.
4. Brush over anything category detection didn’t cover — a name, an email, a username.
5. Tap Export to save the redacted screenshot.

Why it works this way

Screenshots are the most over-shared thing on a phone — order confirmations, chats, bank alerts — and they’re packed with identifiers you didn’t mean to send. PrivShot reads the text on-device and covers the sensitive fields before you share, so nothing sensitive is uploaded just to be detected.

Tips & edge cases

• Category toggles are per photo. Redacting a delivery screenshot? Keep address off if you’re sending it to the courier, on if you’re posting publicly.
• Emails and usernames aren’t a detection category — brush over those by hand.
• Blur is one-way in the app, so there’s no risk of un-hiding a number after the fact.

FAQ

What kinds of personal data does it catch? Phone numbers, addresses, ID and passport numbers, bank card numbers, and company credit codes — plus faces in any images in the shot.

Can I turn off blurring for one category? Yes. The review screen lets you toggle each category on or off, photo by photo, so you only cover what you want covered.

Does it change the rest of the screenshot? No. Only the detected regions are redacted; everything else is exported exactly as it was.
