Description

ShadeType Privacy Screen Mod APK is a privacy overlay that lets you hide the rest of your display while you type with your usual keyboard. A small control appears above the keyboard, letting you cover the screen without interrupting autocorrect, swipe typing, or emoji.

The overlay is designed for moments when someone nearby could read over your shoulder, including travel, queues, shared offices, waiting rooms, and classrooms.

Cover the screen while typing

ShadeType Privacy Screen Mod APK keeps the keyboard fully visible and places a dark veil over the remaining screen area. Tap the control once to drop the veil, then press and hold the veil when you need to check your text. Releasing it hides the screen again.

Tap OFF to remove the veil. It also turns off automatically when you close the keyboard. The veil remains slightly translucent, so your text can stay faintly visible at arm's length while being difficult for someone beside you to read.

  • You can drag the control to a different place on screen so it does not cover the area where you are writing.
  • The control remembers its position after you move it.
  • The overlay works as a system overlay in messaging, email, notes, browsers, banking apps, and social media wherever you can type.

Use your existing keyboard

ShadeType Privacy Screen Mod APK is not a replacement keyboard. You keep Gboard, SwiftKey, or another keyboard already installed, along with its autocorrect, swipe typing, and emoji tools.

Free controls and Pro options

The free features include the veil, hold-to-peek behavior, instant off, the draggable control, and automatic shutdown when the keyboard closes. It has no ads, subscription, or account requirement.

Pro adds adjustable veil opacity, the Ink, Slate, Warm, and Pure styles, control size, starting position, and animation speed including an instant setting. It also adds automatic veiling for selected apps, an app skip list, a Quick Settings tile, and automatic restart after your device restarts.

Privacy and limits

ShadeType Privacy Screen Mod APK uses Android's Accessibility Service to detect when the keyboard is open, where it is placed, and which app is in the foreground for per-app rules. It does not read, record, or transmit typed text, and it does not inspect other apps' contents.

Your settings remain in the app's private storage. The app records anonymous usage counts, such as how often it opens, without personal information attached.

This is a software overlay rather than a polarising screen protector. It does not change the hardware viewing angle of your display, block screenshots or screen recording, or stop a camera pointed at your phone.

Mod Review

This build suits people who type private messages or credentials where nearby people can see their display, because the veil leaves the keyboard visible. It also fits users who want per-app behavior around the typing overlay. Skip it if you need protection against screenshots, screen recording, or a camera aimed at the phone, since the overlay cannot block those. Consider the listed collection of app interactions, installed apps, and device or other IDs before installing.

The MOD in practice

This build is labeled Premium Unlocked. The label identifies the MOD for this version, while ShadeType Privacy Screen Mod APK still works as a keyboard-focused screen veil. Its normal operation remains based on the control above your keyboard, the overlay, and Android accessibility access. The current release notes list a hotfix for the veil button.

What works

  • The control appears when typing starts, so you can activate the veil without replacing your current keyboard.
  • Holding the veil temporarily reveals text, which helps when you need to check what you wrote.
  • Per-app rules can automatically veil selected apps and keep the control away from excluded apps.

What to watch

  • Google Play lists app interactions, installed apps, and device or other IDs among collected data types.
  • Android 8.0 or later is required to install this 2.8 MB build.
  • The veil does not stop screenshots, recording, or someone using a camera to view your display.

Our take

Install it when a keyboard-visible overlay matches how you handle private typing in public. Check the Android 8.0 requirement first, then compare the veil-button hotfix with the version you plan to use.
