2 Ways to Lock Applications on Android Phones Without Hassle (100% Safe)
Lock apps on android phone, what’s the need? If you want to make sure that only you can open certain applications or restrict others from ‘peeking’ on the contents of your android phone, then locking the application is what you need to do.
Maybe you have experienced an incident where your friend idly opened a private application, such as whatsapp, BBM and the like. And worse, they read your chats without your knowledge.
Of course this makes us a little annoyed, especially what we read is our conversation with the doi. Therefore, through this article I will explain how to easily lock applications on Android.
How to Lock Apps on Android
In this tutorial I use the help of the LOCKit application. Before this article was published, I had tried several other popular locker applications such as DoMobile’s AppLock and PIN Genie Locker but the results were not satisfactory.
AppLock is not working properly on my android phone. For example, I have locked the whatsapp application, but when I open the application, my whatsapp application immediately opens without the need to enter the pattern / PIN that I set earlier. For PIN Genie Locker, the settings are quite complicated.
Therefore, my choice fell on LOCKit because the setup is quite easy and the application works very well. Immediately, here’s how to lock apps on android using LOCKit:
1. Install the LOCKit Application
1. First of all you have to install the application through the playstore, you can go through the following link or just type “lockit” in the Google Playstore search field. After that, install the application as usual by clicking Install.
2. After the download and installation of the application is complete, open the LOCKit application.
3. At the initial screen of this application, you are asked to specify the pattern lock or PIN you want. In this example, I use a pattern (pattern). However, if you want to use a PIN (password in the form of numbers), please select Switch to PIN. Enter the pattern / PIN 2X yes to confirm.
5. Next we are asked to determine the security question (security question). So when you forget the pattern used to unlock the locked app, you can use this security question to reset your pattern. Although this is only optional (you can omit it by selecting Ignore) but I still advise you to specify a security question. If so, select DONE.
6. LOCKit will automatically lock applications that are considered important and private. Go ahead, choose PROTECT. You can later add/remove any apps you want to lock.
7. If you get a notification like this, select excuse me.
8. In settings Accessibility, scroll down (on my phone the bottom position) and select LOCKit.
9. Then click the button ON. If you get a warning notification, just choose it OK.
Click the ON button
If there is a notification select OK
Already ON
10. Reopen the LOCKit application. Every time we open the LOCKit application, we are asked to enter the pattern we have previously defined. This is done so that only cell phone owner who can make settings on the LOCKit application. To make settings regarding which applications you want to lock, select App Lock (not anything else, because the others are just application promotions).
11. In this menu you can choose which application you want to lock. Click button padlock to lock the app (blue padlock indicates the app has been locked).
12. Every time someone opens the application (which has been previously locked), they must first enter the pattern / PIN that we have previously specified. This way, you don’t have to be afraid anymore that someone else is “stupid” with the contents of the data / chat on your cellphone. Below I try to lock my Whatsapp application, the lock screen looks like this:
2. How to Change Pattern / PIN
If you want to change the pattern / PIN because someone knows or because the pattern / PIN is easy to guess, you can set it in the following way:
1. Open the app LOCKit then select the menu button (as indicated by the red arrow).
2. Select Settings.
3. Then select Change password to replace the new pattern. Same as before, enter the desired new pattern 2X.
In this Settings menu, you can do many settings such as changing the pattern / PIN (change password), changing security questions (security question), automatically locking every new application installed (Lock new apps) and so on.
Closing
Lock applications that you think are important such as BBM, Whatsapp, Messenger, Instagram and so on. Also make sure you lock the Settings menu / phone settings, Settings here no contained in the LOCKit application but Settings on your android phone. So that not just anyone can delete applications on your phone or make other important settings.
