## Private Vault – Store Files

Private Vault is a private storage app that lets you securely store photos, videos, notes, and other sensitive files. It also includes a privacy-first browser that leaves no history and lets you save secret bookmarks within the app.

Features include secret photo/video storage, private notes, secure file import/view (.doc, .ptp, .xls, etc.), hidden contacts, an all-in-one password manager, and a browsing experience that doesn’t reveal your activity. The app offers a Premium subscription with auto-renewal options and provides a privacy policy and terms of use.

## Review summary

User reviews largely report data loss after updates or reinstalling the app, leaving them unable to recover photos and videos. Many struggle with compatibility updates for the latest iOS/iPhone 15, making the app unusable or inaccessible. Customer support is frequently unresponsive, and billing issues persist, with users being charged or prompted to upgrade despite payment. Additional instability includes the app failing to open, videos not loading, and missing instructions for use or recovery. Overall, while the app is marketed as a secure vault for media, current updates seem to compromise data access and protection, eroding trust.
