Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Use Case: Pressing the power button to power off the screen may cause damage to the button through wear and tear. To stop using the power button to off the screen, we develop this simple app to lock the screen once the app is touched. To power on the device, use the fingerprint sensor or double tap on the screen (supported in a few models). Tips: Even if you did not enroll your fingerprint in the device, the screen will power on once your finger is placed on the fingerprint sensor. Lock your device screen. One touch on the screen and the screen is locked. Use any of your existing methods to unlock (Pin, Patterns, Fingerprints). Free yourself from the device power button. Tips: If your device is using MIUI platform, then look for the desktop widget to achieve the same function and you do not need this app. Most Xiaomi models provide this function out of the box. This app uses the Force Lock function in Device Admin, and thus this app will require activation in the device admin menu setting. To uninstall this app, you have to deactivate the app in the device admin menu setting first. Then you can proceed to uninstall the app. Tips: Some application use this method to make it difficult for users to uninstall them. Features: ➤ Free, No ADS and No root required ➤ Simple to use, no manual required ➤ Supports Phones, Tablets, Android™ TV Boxes ➤ Supports Android™ KitKat, Lollipop, Marshmallow, Nougat, Oreo, Pie, Q ➤ Good resource management, No frills, minimum RAM & CPU ➤ App do not use any CPU or RAM when it is not activated via touch ➤ When activated, the app will lock the screen and then kill itself ➤ Safe and Privacy focused, no servers and DOES NOT connect to the Internet ➤ No Android™ Permission required, zero, none, period ➤ Check the permission required by other similar apps and you will agree that this is the BEST app for Quick Screen Lock in comparison We develop this app because we need it and the app we are using previously is by loewe (com.lsc.lock) but it is not actively maintained. The app by loewe is fantastic but do not support some of our Samsung phones. This app serve our needs and may be useful to you.

Lock Screen APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Lock Screen APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 03959ea43942822e179ba3e27fe95881.
