Lightweight, practical, effective and fun! This app lets you protect and block most popular messaging and chat applications, such as WhatsApp, Facebook and many more by using a PIN. Keep you privacy and maintain secure! You can also configure it to protect your images and videos from your device gallery. After installation it will ask you to set a 4 digit PIN, and will show the configuration options.
