Access control
App Lock - Lock & Unlock Apps starts with the app locker that can be utilized in three ways. The first is enabling notification protection to prevent alerts from appearing. Second is the intruder function that lets you camouflage applications with custom icons and names. Thirdly, you can enable the intruder mode to have the app take a photo of someone trying to open an app.
The second core feature is the Vault, which is a section where you can store sensitive data that you don't want anyone else to see. It covers all kinds of media, from audio to video and photos. What's more, it supports regular files like documents, so they can be kept secure and prevent them from being opened and viewed by others.
As a bonus feature, the app also has a built-in browser especially made for private web browsing to keep your online identity, traffic, and location anonymous. As for setting up locks, you can choose from the standard PIN, pattern, or fingerprint authentication to gain access to your locked applications. One major concern, though, is that the app tends to randomly close in the background.
