Folder Lock Advanced is a comprehensive privacy tool for Android devices, designed to secure files and applications from unauthorized access.

Superior Data Protection

Folder Lock Advanced offers robust protection features to shield your device from unwanted intrusions. The application allows you to secure any document, file, or application, providing peace of mind when leaving your device with others. Users must first determine the level of security they want to employ to lock their device, with options including a pattern, PIN, or password. Once a security method is selected, no further access is possible without the user's explicit permission.

Customizable Security

After the security code is established, users can access the main menu, where various security measures are segmented into several categories: app lock, photos, videos, documents, notes, wallet, social network, browser, and cloud. Each category presents a list of potential items to secure. For instance, users looking to protect banking applications or payment platforms should navigate to the wallet tab, while those wishing to safeguard their Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram accounts will find the social network tab useful. Each category conveniently offers shortcuts to the user's profile for each application, eliminating the need for the official app to securely check your information.

Integrated Privacy Browser

Folder Lock Advanced also features an inbuilt web browser that allows users to surf their preferred websites anonymously. This browser's download function provides direct and straightforward access to online content. If users wish to deactivate any of the app's protective measures, they can quickly do so by tapping on the respective app to unlock it. This ensures a balance between optimal security and user convenience.

Conclusion

In summary, Folder Lock Advanced is an all-encompassing privacy tool for Android users. Its comprehensive security options, easy-to-navigate interface, and integrated privacy browser make it a valuable asset for those looking to safeguard their device and sensitive data from unauthorized access.

Minor bugs fixed

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • CALL_PHONE: Allows an application to initiate a phone call without going through the Dialer user interface for the user to confirm the call.
  • CAMERA: Required to be able to access the camera device.
  • PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS: Allows an application to see the number being dialed during an outgoing call with the option to redirect the call to a different number or abort the call altogether.
  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to read from external storage.
  • READ_PHONE_STATE: Allows read only access to phone state, including the phone number of the device, current cellular network information, the status of any ongoing calls, and a list of any PhoneAccounts registered on the device.
  • RECORD_AUDIO: Allows an application to record audio.
  • WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to write to external storage.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
  • CHANGE_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to change Wi-Fi connectivity state.
  • GET_TASKS: This constant was deprecated in API level 21. No longer enforced.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES: Allows an application to call killBackgroundProcesses(String).
  • PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS: Allows an application to collect component usage statistics
  • READ_LOGS: Allows an application to read the low-level system log files.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • VIBRATE: Allows access to the vibrator.
  • WRITE_SETTINGS: Allows an application to read or write the system settings.
  • android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL
  • android.permission.WRITE_INTERNAL_STORAGE
