**AppLock - Lock Screen** helps protect private apps and personal data from unauthorized access. Secure WhatsApp, Snapchat, TikTok, system apps, photos, videos, and messages with PIN, pattern, knock code, or fingerprint authentication.

Key features include intruder selfies, notification preview blocking, invisible patterns, custom themes, scheduled locking, audio alarms, and low-battery performance.
