Pictures! One of the most integral part of our daily lives sometimes poses as a threat to us. A lot of the youth these days have grown a habit of taking compromising photos that sometimes end up in the wrong hands. This happens when the device is lost.
Another way these beloved pictures end up being viewed, comes as a result of innocently showing certain photos to friends and family. They in turn end up swiping to see more images in the gallery.
How can this be avoided? Here are Five really cool apps used to hide private pictures from being publicly viewed when your phone finds its way into the hands of friends or colleagues.
Private Photo Vault :
With options of either PIN or Pattern lock, Private Photo Vault protects photos you deem as private inside a folder. As an additional feature, the app gives break-in reports when the device has been stolen and a photo has been leaked. The feature then automatically takes a photo of the thief as well as send their location via GPS. The app also includes a private web browser to save online photos directly to the app. A big props to the brain behind this app. Private Photo Vault is available on iOS and Android for free.
