Learn how to protect sensitive content in your Flutter app.
---

This feature is available on Android API 35+, and you can try it out by using
the [`SensitiveContent`] widget. See the guide below for details.
The [`SensitiveContent`] widget allows you to prevent
screens that contain sensitive content (such as passwords)
from being projected. To learn more,
check out the following two-minute Widget of the Week video:

## About the `SensitiveContent` widget

You can use the `SensitiveContent` widget in your app to set the content
sensitivity of a child `Widget` to one of the following [`ContentSensitivity`]
values: `notSensitive`, `sensitive`, or `autoSensitive`. The mode that you
choose helps to determine if the device screen should be obscured
(blacked out) during media projection to protect users’ sensitive data.
values: `notSensitive`, `sensitive`, or `autoSensitive`.
Your chosen mode determines if the device screen should be obscured
(blacked out) during media projection to protect sensitive data.

You can have as many `SensitiveContent` widgets in your app as you wish,
but if _any_ one of those widgets has a `sensitive` content value, then the
screen will be obscured during media projection. Thus, for most use cases,
entire screen is obscured during media projection. Thus, for most use cases,
using multiple `SensitiveContent` widgets provides no advantage over having
one `SensitiveContent` widget in your app’s widget tree. This feature is
available on Android API 35+ and has no effect on lower API versions and
other platforms.
one `SensitiveContent` widget in your app’s widget tree.

This feature is available on Android API 35+
and has no effect on lower API versions or other platforms.

:::note
The `autoSensitive` value isn't supported as of Flutter 3.35 and behaves
the same as `notSensitive`. See the [Issue #160879][] for more information.
