Mobile phone today contains too much private and important things that we do not afford to compromise. With Hotspot Shield Privacy Wizard, your privacy is always protected. You will no longer need to worry about:

⇨ Friends snooping at your text messages or call logs
⇨ Parents checking your social media pages
⇨ Kids accidentally deletes important files or apps

How to use Hotspot Shield Privacy Wizard

1. Install Privacy Wizard on your Android phone or tablet.
2. Set your master password. When to launch the app for the first time, you need to set up a password. You can choose either a pattern or a passcode. The initial password is your master password and is used to access all apps secured by Privacy Wizard as well as the Privacy Wizard app itself.
3. Select the apps you want to protect and add a second layer of security by choosing a disguising cover.

About App Lock Covers

App Lock Covers provide double layers of security by showing snoopers a fake screen and block their access to the applications. When a cover is used, the cover screen will pop up before the password screen. Each cover has its own secret action that the user must complete bypassing the screen. The password screen is then displayed if the cover is bypassed.

There are five cover options to choose from, Voice Authentication, Unknown Caller, Fingerprint Touch ID, Error Message, and Customized Pictures. You can also choose not to use any covers.

[✔] Fingerprint Touch ID – shows a fake fingerprint verification request and makes the snooper think that fingerprint verification is needed
[✔] Error Message – displays an error message and fools the intruder into thinking an error has occurred
[✔] Voice Authentication – displays a fake voice authentication screen to mislead the meddler
[✔] Unknown Caller – Simulates a fake incoming call and scares nosy parker away
[✔] Customized Pictures - choose any pictures from your phone

You can easily disable or enable the cover and lock for each app listed on “Your locked apps” screen.

How to Enable "Uninstall Lock"

We highly encourage users to enable the "Uninstall Lock" feature, which prevents anyone to attempt to uninstall Privacy Wizard. To enable "Uninstall Lock" Feature, simply go to “Setting”, “Uninstall Lock” option, and tap on “Activate Device Administrator”.
