ExpoTaskbarBlur

Easily blur your Expo and React Native app's content when it's in the task manager to protect your app's privacy.

Features

• Blur content when app goes into the background. • Native modules for both Android and iOS. • Easily toggle the blur from your JavaScript code.

Side notes

Android doesn't support bluring the content when the app is in the taskbar, that's why on android platform the app content will go blank when moved to the taskbar, IOS will get blurry.

To use this package, you have to enable native modules in your expo app, so make sure you run the prebuild script to generate native ios & android directories.

npx expo prebuild

Installation

npx expo install expo-taskbar-blur

Usage

import { AppState } from 'react-native';
import ExpoTaskbarBlur from 'expo-taskbar-blur';


// ...

const handleAppStateChange = (nextAppState) => {
  if (appState === 'active' && nextAppState.match(/inactive|background/)) {
    ExpoTaskbarBlur.enableBlur();
  } else if (appState.match(/inactive|background/) && nextAppState === 'active') {
    ExpoTaskbarBlur.disableBlur();
  }
  setAppState(nextAppState);
};

// Remember to add and remove the AppState listener in useEffect or componentDidMount/componentWillUnmount.
