Security and privacy is of great importance for us, especially for most of the mobile users’ minds. We carry around so much precious data, and when it’s lost, troubles often ensues. To that end, Android developers are always searching for new and improved methods to help give your ever-growing mobile world even more ways to secure that data.

There are instances when security can come in the simplest forms, such as keeping prying eyes out of certain apps. You might hand your phone over to someone so they can make a phone, checking SMS, Facebook message or look at your private pictures. If you turn your back, that user could always dig into your data. Fortunately, there are ways to keep certain applications readily available while others are locked down. One such method is a third-party app called AppLock.
