Safeguard your mobile device data with App Lock & Gallery Vault, a proficient tool designed to restrict access to the apps, media files, and documents on your device. This utility can secure your data through three distinct methods: a numeric PIN, an alphabetical sequence, or a pre-set pattern. Regardless of the chosen encryption method, once the initial password is configured, it is required to not only access the locked applications but also to open App Lock & Gallery Vault itself, ensuring no unauthorized user can uninstall the app and bypass the protection mechanism.

User-Friendly Interface

The user interface of App Lock & Gallery Vault is designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind. The main window provides a comprehensive list of all your apps, allowing you to easily select which ones you wish to secure by simply checking them off. This intuitive design eliminates any potential confusion and makes securing your apps as easy as a single tap.

Advanced Media Protection

App Lock & Gallery Vault isn't limited to merely protecting your apps. It also offers advanced media protection by allowing you to restrict access to specific albums and videos. This feature provides you the liberty to capture images and videos that will be automatically stored in a specific, locked folder. This ensures your media files are equally as secure as your apps, adding an extra layer of protection to your data.

Enhanced Security

In addition to its utility functions, App Lock & Gallery Vault also enhances your device's overall security. By requiring a password to open the app itself, it ensures that unauthorized users cannot simply uninstall the app to bypass its protection. This makes it an effective tool for protecting your data from unwanted access, providing you with peace of mind regarding the security of your personal data.

Minor bugs resolved

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • CAMERA: Required to be able to access the camera device.
  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to read from external storage.
  • READ_PHONE_STATE: Allows read only access to phone state, including the phone number of the device, current cellular network information, the status of any ongoing calls, and a list of any PhoneAccounts registered on the device.
  • WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to write to external storage.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
  • CHANGE_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to change Wi-Fi connectivity state.
  • GET_TASKS: This constant was deprecated in API level 21. No longer enforced.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES: Allows an application to call killBackgroundProcesses(String).
  • PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS: Allows an application to collect component usage statistics
  • READ_LOGS: Allows an application to read the low-level system log files.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • USE_FINGERPRINT: Allows an app to use fingerprint hardware.
  • VIBRATE: Allows access to the vibrator.
  • WRITE_SETTINGS: Allows an application to read or write the system settings.
  • android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL
  • android.permission.WRITE_INTERNAL_STORAGE
  • com.samsung.android.providers.context.permission.WRITE_USE_APP_FEATURE_SURVEY
