Your phone isn’t always with you. Its goes other hands too like family and friends. Once it’s unlocked, anything on there is fair game for someone who lets their curiosity get the best of them. But you can make sure that photos, videos, or other files that you’d rather stay private are kept under a digital lock and key. There are several apps that do this, placing a secure folder on your home screen that only you can get to.
1) Keepsafe:
It’s very simple to set up and use and has a lot of helpful options that let you tweak the app to work the way you want it to.
As you’ll find with all of the apps in this genre, you use a PIN to gain access and provide an email address as a backup for a backup code if you’re locked out.
2) Gallery Vault:
This is an Another solid choice is Gallery Vault. The app also offers some clever features to make it a ghost on your home screen, as you can hide the icon and launch Gallery Vault by typing in a pin into your dialer, a URL in the browser, or using a couple of other clandestine methods to gain access.
Once you’ve setup your security layer, you can add in images, videos, files, and just about anything else you want to upload. From here it’s pretty self-explanatory in terms of adding content. But as with other apps, keep in mind that uploading something doesn’t eliminate it from where you pulled it from. You’ll need to manually delete any photos you don’t want seen from their original gallery.
3) Folder Lock:
Another choice to consider is Folder Lock. That includes a private cloud, the ability to hide the icon, and a rather clever panic mode that offers a button for quickly switching from one app to another in case you sense someone is looking over your shoulder.
