App Lock: Essential Privacy Control at Your Fingertips

App Lock transformed how I manage privacy on my shared device, offering genuinely useful control without complexity. Setting up PINs or patterns for sensitive apps like banking, messaging, and photos took seconds, and the flexibility to mix protection methods—using a pattern for social media while locking my gallery with a PIN—feels empowering. Unlike bulkier security suites, this app shines through focused simplicity: toggle locks on/off per app effortlessly, adjust settings intuitively, and trust it functions reliably. Seeing "Blocked" flashes when someone tries accessing my secured WhatsApp is deeply satisfying. 

Though requiring Device Administrator permission (essential for security), the trade-off delivers robust protection that'd be hard to bypass casually. Minor ad presence is a fair trade for free use, and customization options appease control enthusiasts. For anyone sharing devices or guarding private content, App Lock is a must-have privacy layer that just works.

App Lock Mini-FAQ:

Q: Why does it need "Device Administrator" permission?

A: This allows App Lock to prevent its own settings from being easily uninstalled or bypassed by unauthorized users. It’s standard for serious app locks but means you must deactivate it in device settings before uninstalling.*

Q: Can I lock ANY app?

A: Mostly yes. Core apps (social, galleries, banking, settings) lock reliably. System-critical apps (Phone, Settings app) may have limitations due to Android restrictions.*

Q: How secure is it against tech-savvy users?

A: It prevents casual access well. Determined individuals could bypass it via Safe Mode, ADB, or factory resets – but it offers strong everyday privacy against friends/family.*

Q: Does locking apps increase battery drain?

A: Minimal impact. It runs lightweight background checks only when launching apps. No noticeable battery difference observed during daily use.*

Q: Can I recover/reset my PIN/pattern if forgotten?

A: Yes! Use the "Reset Password" option via the app’s menu (requires answering your security question). Otherwise, uninstall/reinstall (after deactivating Device Admin permission) is the nuclear option.*

Q: Are notifications hidden for locked apps?

A: Usually not. App Lock typically secures app access, not notifications. Sensitive previews may still show on your lock screen/latest Android versions.*
