Nowadays, people are obsessed with their smartphone, and they do everything using it such as chatting, emailing, messaging, gaming, banking, and many other things. Due to this much usage, it becomes very important to keep your phone and the appsinstalled on it safe from others.
I remember when I used to give my phones to friends, they start checking out the messages and chats which usually people do when they get others’ phone. When I came to know about it, I stopped giving my phone to others even for a minute. But, sometimes you cannot avoid and have to give your phone to someone for some urgent stuff like calling, etc.
So, what you can do so that even your phone is with someone else, he cannot peek a boo into your messages or chats or any important data?
You can lock the apps that you don’t want someone to look into. Yes, you can do it, and there are many apps available for it on Google Play. Recently I installed App Lock by IVYMOBI which is nice, and I am currently using it on my phone.

2. Intruder Selfies
Intruder selfies is a feature that enables your phone to capture the one that tries to hack into your phone. As long as he draws the wrong pattern, the app clicks the selfie.
To test this feature, I have drawn a wrong pattern, and it did click my picture that is saved and accessed from the app’s menu.
And, Intruder Selfie can be shared on social media as well that will help you publicize the guy who tried to hack into your phone. This Intruder Selfie share feature is good as you don’t have to do much for sharing the image captured.
Note: I blurred my pic since my hair and face all messed up. And, I don’t want to show my such face
