App Lock & Vault - Shieldra

Shieldra is a free app lock and photo vault. Lock any app with a PIN, pattern, fingerprint or face, hide private photos and videos in an encrypted vault, and catch anyone who tries to get in with Intruder Selfie. Ideal when friends, family or kids borrow your phone.

Many app lockers only move files to a hidden folder. Shieldra encrypts every photo and video with AES-256, so other apps, file managers and cleaners can't open them.

APP LOCK

• Lock WhatsApp, Messages, Gallery, Instagram, banking apps or any other app

• Gallery lock, chat lock and payment app lock in one app locker

• Fingerprint lock, face unlock, PIN lock or pattern lock; the fingerprint prompt opens instantly

• Lock all apps or unlock all at once; lock Settings and Play Store so apps can't be removed

• New app alert: lock newly installed apps with one tap

• Tamper alert: know if someone force-stopped the app lock

• Hide notifications: message previews from locked apps go to a private inbox

• Shuffle keypad and invisible pattern stop shoulder-surfing

• Relock immediately or when the screen turns off

PHOTO VAULT & VIDEO VAULT

• Photo locker and video locker for selfies, documents and private videos
