You can also use KeepSafe to share
photos in a way that means the recipient can view
the image for 20 seconds only. Make sure the
photo is stored in KeepSafe, then tap the photo so
it appears fullscreen. Tap on Share and choose a
channel with which to send your image.

If you need to quickly lock KeepSafe, you
can enable Face-down Lock so the app locks
automatically when you fl ip your device upside
down. KeepSafe’s Settings also contain Pro
features, which you can access via a free 14-day
trial – to start it, tap any of the Pro features.

Break-in Alerts is another Pro feature.
When enabled, KeepSafe automatically takes a
photo when an invalid PIN is entered. After three
failed attempts, the PIN pad will be disabled for a
while. To activate this feature, tap Break-in Alerts,
followed by Enable Break-In Alerts.

One Pro feature you can access on a free
trial basis is PIN Timeout. This keeps KeepSafe
unlocked for 30 seconds after you leave the app, so
it’s perfect if you’re fed up of having to re-enter your
PIN every time your device goes to sleep or you
accidentally exit KeepSafe.

On KeepSafe’s main screen, tap the icon
at the top left, then Settings. Here, you can
perform admin tasks such as changing the email
address associated with your account, and your

options, which are covered in the next few steps.

You can disguise KeepSafe as a system-
scanning app, by enabling Secret Door. Now,
launching KeepSafe will simply display a message
informing you that the system scan is complete. To
launch the real KeepSafe app from this screen,
you need to long-press on the KeepSafe logo.

What happens to
my photos and
videos if I uninstall
KeepSafe?
The contents of your KeepSafe
account are associated with
your email address. This means
that if you uninstall KeepSafe
from your device, you can
always recover your content at
a later date by reinstalling the
app and logging in with your
original email address.

How do I prevent
KeepSafe from
copying all my
hidden photos
andvideosto
Private Cloud?
Private Cloud is the key to
syncing KeepSafe content
across all your devices. Backing
up your content to Private Cloud
also means that if your Android
smartphone or tablet breaks,
you won’t lose all the photos
and videos in your KeepSafe
account. However, if you don’t
want to back up your content to
Private Cloud, you can disable
this sync by opening KeepSafe’s
Settings and deselecting
Enable Private Cloud.
