Photo Lock: Hide Photos Vault

Photo Lock is a private photo vault that keeps your personal photos and videos out of your gallery and behind a PIN, pattern or fingerprint that only you know.

Hide pictures and videos in seconds, lock albums with their own password, and hand your phone to friends without worrying about what they'll scroll into.

🔒 LOCKED BEHIND YOUR PIN
• PIN (4–8 digits), pattern, or fingerprint and face unlock
• Auto-lock right away or after 30 s, 1 min or 5 min
• Too many wrong guesses? Photo Lock makes them wait, longer each time
• Forgot your PIN? Reset it with a recovery question, pattern or PIN, or a link to your email

🙈 HIDDEN FROM YOUR GALLERY
• Pick photos and videos in the built-in picker: press and drag to select many at once
• Choose to remove the originals from your gallery, or keep them
• Photos you've already hidden are skipped, so there are no duplicates
• Big imports keep going even if you leave the app or turn off the screen
• Share to Photo Lock from any app to hide a photo straight away
• Unhide puts files back where they came from

📁 PASSWORD-PROTECTED ALBUMS
• Lock any album with its own password, on top of your PIN
• A locked album's cover and photos stay hidden until you open it
• Name albums with a word or an emoji, set your own cover, sort by date, name or size

🎭 DECOY PIN
• A second PIN opens a separate, harmless vault
• If someone makes you unlock Photo Lock, they see only what you put there, with no sign your real vault exists

📸 INTRUDER SELFIE
• After 1, 2 or 3 wrong tries (you choose), Photo Lock quietly takes a photo with the front camera
• You see the photo and the time the next time you open it

🕵️ SECRET APP ICON
• Make Photo Lock look like Notes, Weather or Clock on your home screen, splash screen included

📱 FACE-DOWN LOCK
• Turn your phone face down and Photo Lock locks instantly, then shows your home screen or an app you choose

🧰 PRIVATE BROWSER, NOTES AND CONTACTS
• A private browser with tabs, bookmarks, and ad and tracker blocking; searches with DuckDuckGo
• Save photos and videos from websites straight into your vault
• Your tabs, bookmarks and history stay on this phone, inside the vault
• Private notes and contacts, behind your PIN and backed up with your photos

📷 PRIVATE CAMERA
• Photos and videos go straight into the vault and never touch your gallery
• Timer, flash, grid, zoom, tap to focus and a front-camera screen flash

🎬 BUILT-IN VIEWER AND VIDEO PLAYER
• Swipe, pinch to zoom and slideshow
• Double-tap to skip 10 s, hold for 2× speed, swipe for volume and brightness

🔄 BACKUP AND SYNC
• Lost, broken or new phone? Sign in and your photos, videos, albums, notes and contacts come back
• Use your vault on more than one device, with changes synced between them
• Your PIN, album passwords and settings stay the same on every device
• Sign in with just your email (no password), or skip and add one later
• Turn backup off on any device, or sync photos and videos on Wi-Fi only

🛡️ PRIVACY BUILT IN
• Screenshots are blocked and Photo Lock looks blank in Recent apps
• Deleted items go to the Trash first, with Undo
• Light and dark themes with 8 accent colors, works with TalkBack
• Choose whether to share usage data and crash reports, in Settings

HOW IT WORKS
1. Open Photo Lock and create your PIN or pattern.
2. Tap + and pick the photos and videos to hide.
3. Choose whether to remove them from your gallery. Done: they're only in Photo Lock now.
