Keep your personal photos and videos in a private vault on iPhone and iPad. Choose the items you want to add and organize them into folders. Photos and videos stay in the app's private storage with Apple's file protection, and your vault catalog is encrypted. Each device keeps its own independent vault. Visual Locker does not sync your media between Apple devices or store your vault on a Visual Locker server. Create a separate six-digit vault passcode or choose a password. You can then add Face ID or Touch ID for convenient access on supported devices. Your device passcode cannot open a vault protected by a separate vault credential directly. Alternatively, choose device unlock using the biometric method or passcode configured on your device. With Visual Locker, you can: • Import selected photos and videos privately • Organize personal moments into folders • Search, sort and filter your private library with Pro • View photos and play videos using familiar controls • Save items back to Photos whenever you choose • Choose whether your vault is included in Apple device backup • Choose a vault passcode, password or device unlock at no extra cost Free includes private storage, all access choices, up to 25 items and three folders. A one-time Pro purchase unlocks unlimited items and folders, private on-device search and filters. No subscription. Already purchased Visual Locker Pro on another Apple device? Restore Purchases. IMPORTANT: We cannot recover a forgotten vault passcode or password. And if you delete the app (or lose your phone) you will likely lose anything stored in the vault. Keep another copy of important photos and videos.
