About this app

Lock your apps and protect your privacy with Norton App Lock. Use a secure password or pattern lock screen to keep your Android device secure and private.

You’ve got lots of sensitive information in the apps installed on your phone or tablet device. Many times, even apps that store pictures, personal and financial information, or control remote access to your home don’t require a security PIN, password or lock screen pattern to open.

Install Norton App Lock to protect and safeguard your privacy:

✔ Add passcode security to apps that don’t have it
✔ Lock one or more app with the same 4-digit PIN pass code
✔ Protect your private data and photos from the prying eyes of intruders
✔ Make sure you’re the only one changing your social status or posts
✔ Keep app content private if you share your device with kids or friends to play games or watch videos
✔ Add a layer of security in case your device is lost or stolen
✔ Prevent those embarrassing “pocket-dial” accidents
✔ Choose the apps you want to lock—all, some, or follow our recommendations

Norton App Lock doesn't work in the slightest sense. Whichever app you "lock" with biometrics or a password will prompt you for authentication before allowing you to proceed, as one would expect. The problem being that all you have to do is back out of the verification screen and it goes away, allowing you to access whatever you wish. Also, nothing is preventing you from just deleting the app, getting rid of any multifactor login provided by the app. Most phones have a better, similar feature.

Really wish there was a dark mode option. The rest of my phone is dark, but then I get blasted with a white screen upon opening an app. Pops up unnecessarily in the middle of app usage, not sure if it's a bug, but has been around the whole time I've had it. A fine security app, not overtly obstructive and keeps my banking apps extra secure, but I wish there were better options/was more customisable.

The delay in its activation upon opening some apps is a serious vulnerability that renders the app useless to anyone really trying to bypass it. If I open the settings for Norton App Lock by tapping "app info" on the pop-up menu, after pressing and holding the app's icon, I just need to be quick to tap "force stop" and "OK." I can also simply swipe or tap outside of the fingerprint prompt to dismiss it and then I have all the time in the world to press "force stop" and "OK." Fix this please.
