Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Photo Lock is a photo vault to lock your apps, private photos and videos, with password, pattern lock. If you want to lock some apps, pictures and videos safe, Photo Lock will be a trustable tool. In order to get more safety, you can disguise the Photo Lock icon as another icon, such as calculator or compass, so nobody can find it. Photo Lock can lock Facebook, WhatsApp, Gallery, Messenger, Snapchat, Instagram, SMS, Contacts, Gmail, Settings, incoming calls and any app you choose. Prevent unauthorized access and guard privacy. Ensure security. After moving photos and videos to Photo Lock, they can only be viewed by you. All files can be saved in the cloud and sync between different devices. With Photo Lock, you will never worry about: someone reads private data in your apps again! the families check your photos and find your secret! the children delete important photos by mistake! friends or colleagues see the private pictures while borrowing the phone! the privacy risk during the phone repair! ---Feature--- Lock apps with password, pattern lock. If your phone supports fingerprint verification and the version is Android 6.0 or above, you can enable fingerprint in the Photo Lock. Lock photos Lock videos Set album cover Random keyboard Take a photo of intruders Change theme Disguise the Photo Lock icon as another icon Power saving mode To enable the power saving mode, please turn on the Accessibility Service. Once enabled, Photo Lock can monitor foreground app changes in real time, to improve locking and unlocking efficiency, reduce battery consumption, and ensure the stable operation of Photo Lock. Why does Photo Lock need this permission? We've received a lot of user feedback complaining that the lock fails after the phone restarts and their apps lose protection. This issue mainly stems from the delay in detecting changes in foreground apps. With Accessibility services enabled, Photo Lock will be informed when any app is opened and provide instant protection for locked apps, and reducing battery consumption. What data we will collect and how to use? Photo Lock doesn’t use Accessibility Service to collect any data. We only use it to monitor foreground apps. More features are coming.
