AppLock To Lock Apps On Your Android Phone

AppLock is a simple app that allows you to lock each individual app. AppLock allows you to effortlessly lock any program and prevent accidental file/picture deletion.

In most circumstances, we just need to lock a few files rather than all apps. I don’t enjoy having to lock and unlock my phone every time I need to make a call or perform another operation. There are just a handful of apps/wallets/galleries that should be avoided because they contain sensitive and private data.

Whether you’re looking for the best app lock for your Android device or simply want to increase your security, a dependable app lock is an indispensable tool. With so many options available, it might be difficult to choose the correct one.

Let’s see APPLOCK from DoMobile Lab, and understand how it works.

What is the use of AppLock?

AppLock screen  - lock any app


As its name suggests, AppLock is to lock any app from those people you do not want to show any files. Most of the cases where you think some apps/files are more important and nobody should access them without your permission. Or, just you want to make it safe from other people (children).

About feature – review

AppLock random numeric keyboard


Free tool to lock your app available on Play Store which is rich in features. Like all other apps lock, it allows you to lock individual apps with one touch. Lock and unlock very simply.

It does have the pattern lock when you start it the first time, however, you can change it to a numeric lock. It also has an invisible pattern, you need to set so no one can see while unlocking it in public. With a randomized numeric keyboard, it is tough to guess the pin. So you too have to pay attention each time you enter the pin.

Another feature is setting profiles for different purposes. You can customize the profile to only allow people to certain apps. Create the profiles for guests, homes, kids, and others. Here you can create a shortcut that allows you to activate them by inserting the passcode.

Features like time and location lock allow you to lock by time or location. Be aware when you use time-lock that there is no deactivation time, so it will stay on that profile until the next time lock occurs.

Need Wi-Fi for location lock. Phone hooks up to a certain network, it locks the appropriate profile.
