A free app for Android, by Privacy Genie.
When we talk about secure phones, we’re really talking about the ability to hide apps and keep them out of the way of curious people. With a device as powerful as the one you have in your hand, it’s impossible to make sure that no one can snoop on your smartphone. Even if you lock your phone, someone can still get into your account. So, it’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to personal security. And that’s exactly what Privacy Genie is all about.
With two fully customizable profiles, you can hide apps or sensitive information in a way that only you will know. The app offers two different PINs or sliding patterns to help you remember the password. You can choose which apps you want to be hidden from the Primary profile and keep them hidden in the Private profile. There’s also an option to lock the phone after a handful of failed login attempts, the longer the failed attempts, the longer the lock out period.
When the time comes for you to give your phone to someone else, you can do so with complete confidence. You won’t have to worry about them getting into your phone, as it’s securely hidden behind a password that only you know.
