Time to get real. Not all of us are really proud of all the apps we have installed on our phones. Maybe you have private documents stored in a document, or maybe you’re just a little apprehensive about what’s on your Tinder profile. Sure you can keep certain apps in a folder, but a much better solution is to keep the apps you want private under lock and key.

And lock and key, I mean face and voice. A great and free Android app called AppLock will scan your face and listen to your voice as a secure pattern. Then, when those specific traits are applied as a password to your app, your Android phone will be able to tell when you’re actually trying to gain access and grant it.
Set up facial and voice recognition
When setting up AppLock, the first step is to choose your unlock phrase. For password protected apps, this is what you need to say out loud for voice recognition to unlock the app. Preset options include “Verify me”, “Unlock my apps”, And “App Unlock” but you can set the phrase to whatever you want.
Now it’s time to test both facial recognition and voice recognition.
Important: It is imperative that you find an area with enough light for the application to recognize your face. If you can’t, try shining a flashlight
Use the instructions at the top to determine if your face is properly aligned and the lighting is right. Adjust as needed. While facial recognition is active, you need to repeat the unlock phrase three times so that AppLock can also recognize your voice.
In the end, you will have to choose an alternative authentication method. This is just in case face and voice recognition in a certain situation doesn’t work, or if you choose not to use them. Choose to enter a pattern, a four-digit pin, or a standard password.
Now that AppLock is set up, it’s time to use the options to lock specific apps.
Lock your apps
When you grant AppLock access for use in your Android settings, you’ll see all your apps listed along with their preset security levels. By default, all apps are currently unlocked, meaning they require no security layer before opening.
AppLock includes two other security modes. The middle lock icon at the top is Convenience Mode. If you enable this feature for any number of apps, you will be asked to provide your face or your voice before opening — or your alternate pattern, pin, or password. If you choose TrulySecure Mode, which is a bordered lock icon, AppLock will need your face And your voice to allow access to the specified application(s).
Try with the security settings available for each app and set them to your liking. Finally, when you try to open a protected app, AppLock will intervene and ask for the right amount of authentication. It’s a great way to add an extra layer of security to your Android smartphone.
