Use a secure password or pattern lock screen to keep your Android device secure and private.

You’ve got lots of sensitive information in the apps installed on your phone or tablet device. Many times, even apps that store pictures, personal and financial information, or control remote access to your home don’t require a security PIN, password or lock screen pattern to open.

Install Norton App Lock to protect and safeguard your privacy:

✔ Add passcode security to apps that don’t have it
✔ Lock one or more app with the same 4-digit PIN pass code
✔ Protect your private data and photos from the prying eyes of intruders
✔ Make sure you’re the only one changing your social status or posts
✔ Keep app content private if you share your device with kids or friends to play games or watch videos
✔ Add a layer of security in case your device is lost or stolen
✔ Prevent those embarrassing “pocket-dial” accidents
✔ Choose the apps you want to lock—all, some, or follow our recommendations

The Norton team takes privacy (and performance) seriously. Other applocker, safe lock, applock, folder lock or privacy lock apps can be sidestepped by crafty criminals or may drain your battery, but Norton App Lock leverages special Android permissions to safeguard your sensitive apps. It’s more efficient and more secure than some of the other applock offerings.
