Android phone is a very smart phone , it can scan your Media Files (Images and Videos) from anywhere on your phone and put them in the default gallery (for everyone to see). What if i want some of my pictures / Videos to be private i.e. can be seen only by me ? Maybe there is an app in the market that can put all my private files in a safe locker which can only be viewed by me…
Well there is such an app –> Hide it Pro and best part is its FREE and runs on Android 1.6 and above
Below is a tutorial on to how to use this app
The moment you launch the app you’ll be presented with a screen similar to the one below. Wtf ?? i did not want an Audio Manager app. What the heck is this. Well this is just a disguise to hide the app itself.
To go to the Actual hide it pro. Long Press on the Audio Manager Icon to access the actual Hide It Pro. btw this Audio Manager is full functional. You can change all the volumes from here directly.
The moment you First install and Run the app you’ll be asked to Select a Lock Screen Type . Select any one from Pin based or Password Based. Then enter the pin/password you want to use and set up a recovery email.
