- Chrome is about to trial a new feature that will automatically redact sensitive data when you share your Android screen.
- The Chrome Flag description outlines that form info such as passwords and credit card details would be redacted when screen-sharing or recording.
- It is not yet known when this feature will be available to try or if it will eventually be rolled out to all users.
Accidentally flashing your password or credit card info is always a worry when you’re sharing your screen. Google is looking to address this concern with an experimental feature for Chrome on Android. When available, Google will automatically detect and redact sensitive data when you’re sharing or recording your screen.
As spotted by BleepingComputer, the feature appears as a new Chrome Flag called “Redact sensitive content during screen sharing, screen recording and similar actions.” Chrome Flags are experimental features that Google has yet to roll out fully, but anyone can try them.
