Intune iOS Prevent Screen Capturing in managed or specific apps
- 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.
Hope this helps!

Finally, this option has been arrived. For apps that have updated to v19.7.6 or later for Xcode 15 and v20.2.1 or later for Xcode 16 of the SDK, screen capture block will be applied if you have configured Send Org data to other apps setting to a value other than “All apps”. You can configure app configuration policy setting “com.microsoft.intune.mam.screencapturecontrol = Disabled” if you wish to allow screen capture for your iOS devices.

Hi
I'm having trouble disabling screenshots in Teams on iOS devices that are registered in Entra ID. I've set the 'com.microsoft.intune.mam.screencapturecontrol = Disabled' app configuration policy, and it works for Outlook, but not Teams, even though all managed Microsoft apps are included in the policy. Any suggestions?
Hi,
Can someone explain to me how I would check for Xcode versions? Where I would look? It's written as if it's obvious and it may be to developers but I'm just a simple admin :) : "For apps that have updated to v19.7.6 or later for Xcode 15 and v20.2.1 or later for Xcode 16 of the SDK".
I mean, I can see the Outlook version on a mobile device but that obviously isn't relevant. My MAM policies don't show any SDK values and I haven't specified any minimum SDK values for this very reason.Hi all, I just wanted to leave an update.
I reached out to Microsoft to get the straight scoop on what this means to users and Intune Admins and not just app developers... :)
- This is a real thing and it’s already active. It’s specifically for MAM/App Protection Policies [we don't use MDM for our mobile devices so this works for us]. We can block users from taking screenshots with their Apple devices if the app they are trying to screenshot meets the SDK and XCode version requirements in the article.
- It works on devices running iOS 17 and iOS 18 as these have the req’d XCode content.
- It works with [our] existing iOS App Protection Policy as it is currently configured (Send Org Data to Policy Managed Apps). We won’t have to amend the policy unless we want to block it from working.
- It’s current(ish). It appears that the latest Microsoft Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, etc. mobile apps have already been updated, and so far I have verified screenshots are blocked on Outlook, Teams, and OneDrive.
- This is very much dependent on the vendors that support the “Intune-wrapped” apps making sure they have been updated with the appropriate SDK and XCode requirements. Don't make any assumptions about this feature on any app that has been wrapped to comply with the Intune App Protection policies until it's been tested.Thanks!

Sreejith_rWe're looking to keep Send Org data to to other apps set as Policy managed apps but we don't want screenshots blocked on Outlook,Teams,Edge etc, do you know if this is possible?
You can configure app configuration policy setting “com.microsoft.intune.mam.screencapturecontrol = Disabled” if you wish to allow screen capture for your iOS
Glad to hear this.
Thank for the update Sreejith_ris this new feature Dont we have it before.? Really surprised,
did I miss this when i configure my profile 3 months back.?The screenshot provided is discussing MDM enrolled devices, a feature that has been in place for quite some time. The new feature applies to MAM configured devices that are not enrolled in MDM.
We enroll devices using MDM but are using MAM policies as well with the apps. Why would this App Config key to allow screen shots not work since we are using MAM along with MDM enrollment?
