Smartphones are no longer a simple hand set
by which we can call someone or can send text messages to someone; rather it is
an accumulation of hand set, digital diary, bridge to internet, entertainment
source etc. today’s smartphones are mini-computer. We store our contact
details, pictures, diary, and notes. Since a lot of this information is
private, we need to ensure that if the phone falls into the wrong hands your
information remains secure.
For many purposes, we have installed so
many applications in our smartphone that we cannot even remember them until we
are in real need of them. Some of those applications are so helpful and
practical or even confidential that we need real security to protect them from
unwanted access and unauthorized un-installation. For this kind of annoyance,
first thing comes in my mind is AppLock.
AppLock is a free smartphone application
for Android devices. AppLock not only gives you a full-featured PIN lock or
patter lock on your phone, it gives you that same function on a per app bias.
Say that you want to lock your Facebook, Instagram or Messenger app so that
people don’t go snooping into your social media accounts, or you want to put a
lock on your SMS inbox or messaging app, AppLock will do that for you.
Here is the list of features that the app
come with:
-App Lock
-Privacy protection for media files, SMS
and Call Logs
-Beak-in alerts
-Replace App Icon
-Stop AppLock
This acts as advance protection for your
device, by securing many features that comes with an Android phone.
But……….Does this really protects your phone
privacy?
Let’s take a look:
To getting started locking down your apps,
you’ll need to download AppLock from the Play Store. Once you have done that,
you’ll be introduced to what the app has to offer.
You’ll then be asked to input either a
pattern or a passcode, which you’ll need to remember, as this is what will
unlock your apps.
Then you’ll go ahead and lock some apps
down first, to make sure that people can’t go heading into Messenger, Facebook
or download any charged apps from the Play Store.
Apps are locked, but here are some funny
covers, something that might be good fun if you have friends or family trying
to get into your devices. You can choose from a handful of different funny
icons for the applock to disguise the snoopers.
You
might not want to unlock the locked apps every time. So you can just turn off
the AppLock with just one tap. Quite easy right?
NOTE:
For android operating system up 5.0+, you have to accept the
permission, otherwise you can access the locked apps without taping the
password
What I like about AppLock is that it’s very
matter of fact in its appropriate to locking apps. There is no overwrought
privacy protection or anything like that. Instead it presents itself as a tool
for you to use. Need a pattern lock or passcode lock to keep your friends out
of your messaging and social media apps when hanging out with them? You can do
that with AppLock. Need a more appropriate setting to for the little ones to
access just the apps and games they need? You can do that with AppLock. With a
lot of unique features available, AppLock_IVYMOBI still try to add some new
feature:

to lock phone screen, more powerful.
