Just like most of the people, if you have your personal pictures
on your phone that are not too gloomy that you could show it to others, you can
hide them from the World. There are a lot many options to hide photos on your
Android device which shall be discussed below.
But before that, different devices have different options. Some
have in-built features to hide your personal pictures, while others require a
third-party application. The devices which have the in-built hiding options are
still not safe as anyone can easily access them while third-party applications
are the best for this purpose.
Applications like Photovault can keep your privacy at its best.
Hiding Photos
with Photo Vault on Android
Photo Vault enables your privacy as it asks you to set a passcode
via which only you can access the media inside.
Below mentioned are the steps to work with this application:
- Download the ‘Photo Vault’ app from the Google Play Store.
- Once the downloading is done, it’ll ask you to put your E-mail
and Password. Once you’ve set it up, enter a passcode to lock the
application.
- Whenever you open the app, you’ll have to enter the passcode
set by you. You can add photos or videos inside the app. All you need to
do is click the ‘+’ button and select the media from the gallery.
- You can also create different folders for your pictures.
Some people still won’t be satisfied with this single layer
protection. There are other additional features as well to provide you
multi-layered protection and hide photos in your Android device.
- Creating a Fake Pin
In any case, someone is trying to disturb your privacy i.e. if
anyone tries to access your vault asking about your pin-code, you’re still
safe. Creating a fake pin will be the smart move!
Creating a fake pin will lead you to a secondary Photo Vault
that you can set up if anyone tries to invade.
- Break-in Alerts
Here is another option if someone is trying to get into your
privacy behind your back. Suppose, you’re with a group of friends and someone
tries to access your Vault without you knowing about it, Break-in alert will
snapshot a picture of the screen each time an incorrect password is entered.
With the help of this feature, you’ll know exactly who is trying
to get through it in your absence.
There are additional safety features which come in premium
packages and are paid. If you want to be super sure about your security, you
may buy any of the plans.
