I got my brand-new OnePlus 5T yesterday and I love it. It’s
super-fast and best of all, it cost less than $500 and comes with the same
specs as high-end and very expensive so-called flagships – looking at you Apple
and Samsung. Anyway, this is not the point of this blog post. It’s about
AppLock, an app for Android that protects your privacy.
We store all kind of stuff on our devices, but we don’t
necessarily want to show them to anyone handling our phones or tablets. That’s
where AppLock comes in handy. The app lets you hide your photos and videos from
prying eyes or lock apps.
I used the app on my former phone, a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
So, I downloaded the app from Google Store to lock some apps. Before you ask, I
have my reasons and I do not want to share them with you. This is what privacy
is all about and AppLock has been developed just for that. As a side note, my
new phone, the OnePlus 5T has AppLock built-in – which is cool.
The standalone version of AppLock has been updated today.
The changelog does not say much about the changes. There’s some optimized
functions and bug fixes. The fact that the app now supports Android 8.0 Oreo is
probably most newsworthy. But again, the changelog does not go into details
about it.
If you’re privacy-minded, check-out AppLock in Google PlayStore. It supports protecting your privacy with a password, pattern and even
fingerprint. Give it a try. The app contains in-app purchases should you want
to unlock advanced features.
