## Description

**Screen Guard - Screen Privacy** is a powerful Chrome extension designed to protect your phone screen from prying eyes. By applying a customizable screen filter, it makes it difficult for others to read your phone content, ensuring your privacy when messaging or browsing.

This app features adjustable opacity and screen filter size, allowing you to create a personal privacy shield that dims brightness and masks your chats and sensitive information. It supports quick enabling and disabling of the privacy screen, providing simple control over your screen's visibility. Screen Guard is especially effective for protecting chat apps like WhatsApp by masking message content instantly.

Key features include a black screen filter, customizable brightness, easy-to-use interface, and effective privacy protection for your mobile device. It's the ideal solution to keep your screen content hidden from people around you in public spaces.
