- Hi RSParkway,
This one is not possible with IOS, because it needs to be allowed by Apple. Apple does not allow application to control the underlying IOS.
That’s why it’s available on Android but not IOS.

This blocks screenshots entirely correct? I would like to see a setting that does that specifically for org data in APP for iOS/iPadOS/Android. I supposed if you you really wanted to get around this you could take a picture from another device but it still would be nice to have the option.
You are correct.
The iOS setting will block the whole device, which is quite annoying.
It is a setting from the Device restriction profile, not from the MAM setting. Thus it applies to the whole device. You don't really want to do that to your users, it's a bit intrusive.
And like you said, people could just take photos with another device. Applying this setting will not really stop the culprit but punish good users, which are most of your staff.
On the other hand, Android has this setting in MAM policy, which can block screenshot per protected apps.
