## Description

Private Zone combines Smart AppLock with a private vault for photos and videos and a private browsing mode to shield your activity. Lock apps with a password, pattern, or fingerprint, and customize which apps are protected to prevent disguised snooping. The Break-in Alert feature captures an intruder selfie when someone tries to unlock your apps, helping you detect unauthorized access.

Use the Photo Vault and Video Vault to hide personal media from the gallery, and enjoy a private gallery view only you can access. Private Browsing keeps your searches and sites out of your history, while AppLock keeps sensitive apps secure from curious hands and accidental taps.
