Comments on Hide Photos in Photo Locker for Android

★★★★★ Adnan Khan · Sep 6, 2026
Very disappointed with this app. It deleted my old photos and videos without my permission. At first, the app would not even open, and when it finally opened, all my previous data was gone. I lost important files because of this app. Please fix this issue and help recover my data.
★★★★★ Charles Haeberlein · Jul 7, 2025
App worked perfectly for years and now recently, around 8/26/24, hidden photos are unwatchable, and you cannot unhide nor hide anything else; it takes your new photo, says "0 out of 1 photos hidden" and is seemingly deleted. The files still exist in the system settings, but some files in app appear empty/deleted. Please fix as soon as possible, Video Locker is inoperable as well. I am on a Samsung S23+
★☆☆☆☆ Artak Safaryan · Apr 6, 2026
DON'T PANIC — I got your back! For anyone dealing with app crashes or who forgot their password, here is the solution. You can find repository in GitHub search Holman/photo-video-locker-decrypt — you'll find a tool with full explanation on how to recover your locked photos and videos. Hope all affected users can see this!
★☆☆☆☆ stranger boy · Apr 27, 2025
I have used this app many years. But today I can't open it. When I want to open it, there is an error" Launch Error" and "please restart the device for new version." I retarded many times, but unfortunately couldn't open it. Please someone help me
★☆☆☆☆ Manik · Mar 28, 2025
Unable to recover my locked photos in this app. This app not using recovery pin to send on phone number but on recovery email which never show the recovery pin on recovery email. Tried a hundred times but never sent the recovery pin on recovery email. Why not using alternate communication option (phone number) to contact the owner of photos that were locked in your footlocker.

Description by Handy Apps Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Hide pictures & photos securely and conveniently in Photo Locker! - The ultimate hidden gallery app for hiding photos on Android.

Sensitive photos from your Android photo gallery can be kept safely locked away in a secure Photo Locker accessible only via a secret PIN code.

Key features include:
1)Encryption - hidden pictures are not only moved to a secret location on your phone but are also encrypted using advanced 128 bit AES encryption. This means that even if someone manage to steal your SD card and copy the hidden picture files, they will still be unable to view the locked photos.
2)User friendly operation - Easily hide photos via default gallery or from within Photo Locker itself.
3)Fast bulk hide - Keep safe hundreds of photos quickly
4)Folder level locking - lock individual hidden photo albums. This allows you to show only 1 hidden photo album without exposing the others.
5)Zoom in and out of hidden photos with multi-touch. Hidden photos maintain their original resolution and are not scaled down as in some other photo hiding apps.
6)Rotate hidden pictures left and right
7)Slideshow - Slideshow viewing mode available with customizable delay setting
8)Removed from recent app list - Photo Locker App will not appear in 'recent apps' list
9)Lock on sleep - If you forgot to exit the Photo Locker, the app will lockout as soon as your phone goes to sleep mode.
10)Tablet optimized - Photo Locker's UI has been designed with tablets in mind as well so as to provide the ultimate viewing pleasure on both Android smart phones and tablets
11)PIN recovery - With the optional PIN recovery feature, you won't lose your precious files even if you forgot your PIN code. The app will email the PIN to you in the event you forgot Photo Locker's PIN code.
12)Un-hide pictures easily - Un-hide photos just as easily as hiding them and you can decide where the un-hidden photos go.

Premium features:
1)Stealth Mode - Hide the app itself! Photo Locker App will disappear from the app drawer as if it never exist on your phone. Access to your private photo vault can only be achieved via an innocent looking calculator widget.
2) Fingerprint log in
3) Get 2 apps for the price of 1! Upgrade either Photo Locker or Video Locker to get premium for both apps. Both apps must remain installed in the device to enjoy this promotion.
4)Ad-free viewing experience
