How to add Copy/Paste Prevention to a mobile app

Copy/Paste Protection is a common method of protecting mobile app data from being leaked or stolen.

This Knowledge Base provides step-by-step instructions on how to use Appdome to add Copy/Paste Prevention to any mobile app – in seconds, with no code or coding.

Easily Add Copy/Paste Prevention to any App

Like all features in the Appdome Mobile App Security Suite, users can integrate Copy and Paste Prevention as a standalone feature or combine it with any other feature in Appdome’s Mobile Security Suite or with multiple 3rd party SDKs or APIs. You can configure and integrate Copy and Paste Prevention into any mobile app from Appdome’s Mobile Data Loss Prevention sub-category.

Appdome is a mobile integration platform as a service (iPaaS) that allows users to add a wide variety of features, SDKs, and APIs to Android and iOS apps. Using a simple ‘click to add’ user interface, anyone can easily integrate Copy & Paste Protection to any mobile app – instantly, no code or coding required.

With Appdome, there are no development or coding prerequisites. For example, there are no Appdome SDK, libraries, or plug-ins to implement. The Appdome technology adds Copy & Paste Protection and relevant standards, frameworks and more to the app automatically, with no manual development work at all. Using Appdome, you can add Copy/Paste Prevention to mobile apps, which prevent users from copying sensitive data from within the app and pasting it outside the app.

In order to use Appdome’s no code implementation of Data Loss Prevention with Copy and Paste Protection, you’ll need:

Appdome account – Ideal or Higher.
