Using This File Protection App:
You can download the Lock Photo+Video Safe either by searching on the App Store or by clicking on the link given at the end of this review. Launch the App by tapping the icon. You will see a folder called Administrator. Tap on it to enter the folder. Here, you will see 4 folders: Picture, Video, Audio and File. You can tap on any of the icon to hide the file but it is suggested to choose the appropriate folder for each file so that it can be easier for you to search the files later. I am going to tell you here how to hide a photo using this app. When you understand this then you can hide any file because steps are similar for all the files.
Tap on the Photo folder to enter it. You will find a sub-folder Public in the next window. This sub-folder is present by default in the all the main folders and you can’t delete this. You can use this sub-folder to store public files. In the sub-folder, there are lot of options and each one of them is important for you. There are 4 options at the top bar. These are: Go Back, Set the Layout, Sort By and Create A New Folder. To hide any photo, tap on the plus (+) icon at the bottom right corner of the window. You can import photo from Computer, Camera, Photo Library and Bluetooth. Choose the appropriate option as per the location of the photo you are trying to hide. You can also import multiple photos too. Once you have imported the photos, they are hidden.
When you are using the app for first time, you need to set the password for preventing anyone from using it. You can do so by entering the Administrator folder and then tapping on the Settings tab at top right corner. You can set both dot and numerical password. Go to the Security section and choose your password.
Points To Remember While Using This File Protection App:
- You need to delete the items from the native Apple apps by yourself because Apple doesn’t allows third party apps to delete the photos and other files on your device. Remember, if you don’t delete the files then they will still be accessible by everyone though the native apps of Apple.
- There is no way to recover your hidden files and password if you somehow forget your password. Keep this in mind while using the app.
