That moment of panic when you let somebody borrow your phone and realize all the embarrassing sh*t they could find if they decide to go exploring. (From 2020)

and set the daily limit for an app to zero hours zero minutes, you're effectively locking other people out of the app without the passcode.. Once you've enabled it, open an app and triple-tap the side button or home button—you then won't be able to switch to any other app without entering the phone's passcode. It's ideal if you want to let one of the kids play a game, but don't want them to venture onto any other apps.

There are a whole host of these apps available on Android, as a quick search on the Google Play Store will confirm. However, bearing in mind that these apps need some pretty deep access to your phone and your apps—because that's what they need to function—it's important to only consider ones that you completely trust.

Once you have Norton App Lock installed, it couldn't be easier to use: You just tap the apps that you want to protect with your passcode or pattern, and that's it. There's also the option to turn Norton App Lock in its entirety on or off as needed. If you forget your passcode or pattern, it can be recovered using the Google account that's linked to your Android device.Some individual apps have also taken it upon themselves to put extra protections in place too.
