About this APK

Camera Lock – Phone & Tablet Camera Security App is an app by Syrupy in the Tools category, listed since at least March 2020. It has no native code, so it runs on any Android processor.

Since version 1.2.122, the APK shrank from 2.5 MB to 1.2 MB and the minimum Android version rose from 4.1 to 9. It asks for 1 permission, none of them sensitive. Compared with version 1.2.122, it adds 1 new permission (“Request delete packages”) and drops 3 (“View network connections”, “Full network access” and “Prevent the device from sleeping”).

What's new in v2.0

⚠️ Android 11 (without Android Enterprise) no longer supports camera security apps, including Camera Lock. Therefore, with the release of Android 11 and beyond, this app won't be supported anymore (unless a future Android version starts supporting camera security apps again). Existing users on Android 10 and below can continue to use the app. 🎉 As this app is no longer supported, ads have been removed as of Camera Lock version 2!
