Photo Locker
Some locker apps are more complex filled with features for keeping your files safe, either documents, videos or pictures. One of such apps is Photo Locker. It's a bit simplistic but it has everything you need in order to protect your files from invaders.
Sleek UI with plenty of features at hand
The app doesn't come with a tutorial or any kind of instructions, it launches directly with the setup for creating a pin code to lock your pictures safely inside the app. It doesn't use material design, which means that it doesn't have a side menu that would offer access to various sections.
It comes with some tips to help users better understand the app and to hide their pictures faster. The setup also includes a feature for setting a recovery email in case your forget your passcode, the app automatically detects accounts on your device and lets you pick the one that you wish to connect to the app.
Hide your pictures
It's quite easy to hide pictures inside your device. It automatically detects folders inside your phone and lets you view pictures in a slideshow. You can access all picture directories on your device by tapping on an icon on the top of the screen. Batch selection is available, you can tap on multiple photos and automatically hide them all.
Creating folders is easy, simply type in the name and save it in your device. You can change the PIN at any time, simply pick one of between 4-8 digits. The recovery email can also change the recovery email. You can unlock pictures easily and choose whichever destination folder that you wish.
More features
You can also adjust the slide show delay by seconds and enable the locker at a folder level. The app also comes in multiple languages, so you can change it at any time. The app also comes with a stealth mode, which lets you hide the app itself so that no one knows it even exists on your device.
Access to your hidden photos is done secretly by dialing your PIN code or via an innocent looking calculator widget. However, this is available only in the paid version of the app which costs 3.69$. It comes with banner ads which are removed in the pro version.
