## What is Photo Vault ·?

SafeLock secures private photos, videos, messages, passwords, notes and contacts by locking them down with PIN protection, fingerprint Touch ID and Face ID. With SafeLock, you can protect your privacy, secure your photos and save phone space with cloud backup.

Key Features:
- Secure all the private information on your device with a PIN passcode
- All your files will be backed up on encrypted secure cloud
- Access app with personal digital password
- Touch ID / Face ID authentication
- Private web browsing
- Store contacts you don't want in your regular address book
- Save all your passwords in one place
- Write and store private notes
- Continuous updates and support to deliver the best app

Use built-in camera to take pictures and videos in the secret photo app or import existing media files from camera roll.

Keeping your usernames and passwords on your notes, or written on a piece of paper is not safe. SafeLock is the best place for storing your username and passwords for all of your online accounts securely.

There is also a private web browser that does not save any history on your phone and allows you to save secret bookmarks within the app.

You never again have to worry about letting someone use you phone and seeing your private information! Now you can be sure that your personal data will be kept safe and secure.

Note: You will not be able to access SafeLock if you choose not to set up Touch ID/Face ID and you forget your PIN. We are not responsible for lost files.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-01-15*

This app is absolute crap, they say "continue with limited version" and then when you try to add any pictures it keeps trying to make you pay just to use it. I will be deleting this app and looking elsewhere for extra storage👌🏼

### 1/5 — Don’t believe the high rating.

*2020-01-09*

This app doesn’t allow you to use it, unless you pay a weekly fee, and the free usage stores legitimately nothing. I’m pretty sure to get the reviews up they used bots. Stay safe out there.
