Ensure your photos and videos remain

private, by storing them in KeepSafe Vault

D

o you have photos on your phone or

tablet that you don’t want others to

see? KeepSafe Vault promises to help

keep them safe from prying eyes, in case

anyone should borrow, steal or fi nd your

dev ice. When you move v ideos or photos into

KeepSafe, they disappear from your device’s

Gallery, so the only way to access them is by

launching KeepSafe and entering your PIN.

There are several ways of making your

KeepSafe content more secure. For example,

you can add a password to each KeepSafe

album. You can also disguise KeepSafe as an

app that scans your system and reports any

problems. This means that even if someone is

snooping around your device, they won’t

immediately suspect KeepSafe contains

private photos and v ideos. Similarly, you can

create a decoy version of KeepSafe that you

launch by entering a fake PIN.

KeepSafe doesn’t require root access and is

free to download from Google Play. Buying
