IS Known that we often lock our phone for multiple reasons, in particular if it gets stolen or perhaps we are surrounded by many nosy people who like to be looking at your cell asking to see it or just to poke around which ever reason it is as we know the default lock does nto help too much specially if its a pattern if you left traces of the smudge it can be re-created.

If you’re running Android, there’s an app for you: it’s known as Hidden Lock and it will greatly enhance your smartphone lock screen’s security. By default, Android’s lock screen simply requires users to slide their finger in order to have access to the device’s main interface. This will protect users against nothing but unintended interaction, since a thief, a toddler or even a pet would be capable of convincingly sliding their finger. Hidden Lock addresses this concern by providing two solutions that make it slightly harder, albeit accessible, to unlock a device.

Hidden Lock comes in two distinct modes, which can be flipped on and off on the fly by simply accessing the app’s settings. The first one allows users to set an unlock PIN, a passcode that will have to be punched in every time the device is awaken from sleep using a transparent on-screen padlock. This is quite similar to features in other systems that allow unlock passcodes to be set.
