【次の写真、見られても大丈夫ですか?】 「この写真見て!」と友人にスマホを渡したとき、勝手に横へスワイプされてヒヤッとした経験はありませんか? 見せたくないプライベートな写真、仕事のスクショ、恥ずかしい変顔……。 『NoSwipe』は、そんな「ギャラリーハラスメント(ギャラハラ)」の恐怖からあなたを解放するアプリです。 あなたが選んだ写真「だけ」を表示し、他の操作を一切受け付けない状態でロックします。 これからは、安心してスマホを誰にでも手渡せます。 ■ NoSwipe が選ばれる理由 【鉄壁のスワイプガード】 相手がスクロールしようとしても、画面はゴムのように戻り、次の写真は絶対に見えません。「写真はこれだけです」というメッセージで相手を牽制する機能も搭載しています。 【光と振動で強力牽制】 もし相手がホーム画面に戻ろうとしたり、アプリを閉じようとすると、スマホが強く振動。さらに背面のライト(フラッシュ)が一瞬ピカッと発光して警告します。「見てはいけない」ことを、言葉以上に強く相手に伝えます。(設定でON/OFF可能) 【選べる2つの起動方法】 今見ている写真をその場でロックする「共有メニューからの起動」と、事前にアルバムから写真を選んで準備できる「アプリからの選択」。シチュエーションに合わせて使い分けられます。 【拡大・縮小は思いのまま】 スワイプ(画像送り)は禁止しますが、ズーム(ピンチイン・アウト)は可能です。細かい文字やディテールを見せたい時もストレスがありません。 ■ 2つの使い方 ① 今見ている写真を渡す場合(おすすめ!) 標準の「写真」アプリやGoogleフォトで画像を開く。 「共有」ボタンをタップし、『NoSwipe』を選択。 即座にロック完了。そのまま相手に渡せます。 ② 事前に準備する場合 『NoSwipe』アプリを起動。 アプリ内のアルバムから見せたい写真を選択。 プレビューを確認してロック開始。 ■ こんなシーンで活躍します ・旅行のベストショットを友人に見せるとき ・推しの画像を布教したいとき ・仕事の資料画像を同僚に確認してもらうとき ・QRコードを相手に提示するとき 「見せる」を、もっと自由に、もっと安全に。 あなたのプライバシーを守る『NoSwipe』を、ぜひお試しください。
