Top 5 Best Android App Lock 2020 Hide Your file apps

Smartphones have become a mobile tank for personal data, as it contains many information and sensitive data for many, whether it comes to bank accounts, media files or even social media accounts and conversations. Of course, it is self-evident in this case that you use the common protection methods on smartphones such as the password or the fingerprint and others, but these methods may not be sufficient if there are many intruding and inquisitive people in your vicinity as you get to the stage to go to the way the password works for applications.

To ensure this method works, you need specific applications to lock applications which are not new to smartphones, as they are considered fairly common on Android phones, since there are many distinct applications in this category. While on iPhones, it takes Gilbrick to use this type of application at least with TouchID.

So how do you lock apps? Some Android phones contain special applications for this task that were previously included by companies, while the other solution lies in selecting one of the applications from this list of applications below, which provides you with the best applications for setting a password for other applications in Android phones.

1) AppLock - DoMobile Lab

It is one of the oldest and best apps "so far" in locking other applications and hiding personal files from others, despite the beginning of its launch in 2012, but the application developers contributed to the delivery of the update after the other to the application to this day.
The app outperformed the other apps in this list due to the features it offers, as the amount of customization available in the security settings is very terrible.

The most important features of the application:


Availability of the application for different protection methods by password, pattern, or even by fingerprint.

The ability to hide the application itself from the phone and customize the way to access it by user.
It provides other features that prevent intruders around you knowing your password or pattern by displaying a random numeric keypad.

The ability to take a picture of intruders on your phone via the front camera of the phone.

It supports many themes with a very easy to use interface.

Modify several functions in your phone, such as: preventing others from installing applications or deleting them on your phone and many other things.

The large number of features here comes at the expense of the “consumed” user’s privacy by the application developers, as the application’s usage policy grants permission to view everything that is available in your phone literally under “information automatically collected”.

2) Norton app lock

If you are looking for protection, it is best for you to refer to experts in this field, as the application was developed by Symantec, which is responsible for one of the most famous anti-virus programs in the world, which is Norton. 

However, Norton App Lock offers most of the features found in other applications but is more streamlined than other apps.

In addition, the feature is available within the application, the inability to wipe it from the phone only after entering the user’s password or pattern unlike most other applications, as it is distinguished over other applications in terms of ads, as the user’s interface is free of ads unlike other applications.

Another free option available to try it, the same common features are here as pattern, password or fingerprint lock. 

It also supports the display of a fake message when trying to open a protected application, which usually shows the message "The application has stopped working".

4) Applock lvy mobile

A very easy-to-use option with a really simple interface, and like other protection apps it supports almost the same options.

The application also supports masking the pattern while trying to enter it from you to limit its monitoring by intruders in your vicinity, what is wrong with the application here are some ads that will appear to you while entering the password for one of the locked applications and of course it is considered somewhat annoying.
