What's New in Private I

1.5.3

October 30, 2026

Update Lock (Pro) The System Update decoy now holds the whole phone. While it's showing, every other app is locked too, so swiping away from the decoy gets nobody anywhere. Everything unlocks the moment you verify. Turn it on in Decoy Style. Random per App (Pro) Give each protected app its own decoy, chosen at random and kept, so every app fails in its own believable way and looks the same on every visit. Shuffle any app's pick from Protected Apps. Hide in App Switcher (Pro) While a decoy is showing, the protected app is covered in the App Switcher too, so its contents can't be seen there. Set it up per app in Protected Apps. Improvements • Your protected apps list is more robust: one damaged entry can no longer wipe the list, and you'll be told if saved apps couldn't be loaded • Smoother transitions in and out of decoy screens • Completed translations in all 10 languages, with more consistent wording in German
