Player can click while splash screen is loading?

In my game the player can tap anywhere on the screen to start, but they can do this while the splash screen is loading, which means the game will start before they can see it. Is there any way to disable controls while splash screen is loading? Thanks

afaik not per se. but you can introduce a variable (lets say boolean) if its true the controlls are enabled. so you can set it to false if your spalsh screen starts and and to true after it finished.
