Hey guys, I want to introduce to you our new app, IObit Applock. It's the second security app created by IObit. The previous app is AMC Security.

IObit Applock is designed to help users better protect their private info stored in their mobile devices. Unlike antivirus apps to protect your important data from network risks, an applock is used to lock apps, gallery, settings to stop others to see your stuff. You may think this kind of apps are useless but imagine it, if your friend or family member wants to borrow your phone to make a call or play games, do you think a weak screen-lock can really keep your privacy from their eyes?

The app has a very special feature-- Notification Lock. Many people used to leave their phone face down in public because they don't want strangers to see their chats, not to say the screen may get scratched by the table. Notification lock can hide message previews from any apps, including Whatsapp, Messanger, Gmail... You can leave your phone on the table or any where else. You will get notified when receiving a message while others won't see your private chats or work info again!

*Till now, IObit Applock is the only app can do that.

If you want to try some interesting features, we have Intruder Selfie, Fake Lock and Change Icon.
-Turn on Intruder Selfie, when someone is trying to unlock your phone but taped wrong password for 3 times, IObit Applock will secretly take his/her photo and store it in app. If you bind the account to your email address, the photo will be automatically sent to your inbox.

-Fake Lock: There're several applocks have the fake lock feature, but IObit Applock allows you to customize the apps' lock-screen with your own photos or funny pictures. Only you know how to unlock the app. It is a fun and safe way to protect your data. (This function even cheated me twice! Aren't you guys curious?

)

-Change Icon: If you don't want others to see you're using an applock, we provide different icons to disguise it. No one will find it out except you!

The app also supports Android tablet. In some families we share one tablet, an applock is indispensable! But if you're using an iPad...

IObit Applock is FREE with no ads.
Requires: Android 4.0.3+


Sounds good? Download it now ;)

Ironically for an app that claims it protect your data, it doesn't seem to have a privacy policy on the Google Play Store... So we can't tell if it's safe from a privacy point of view
Hey, thanks for pointing it out. We have Privacy Policy in applock and it is already uploaded to Play Store. You can check it here:
