๐Ÿ˜ฑ Turning Screen Off works only when you cover the screen, so when you lock you will first see a black screen, and when you cover top of your phone (proximity sensor), screen will really turn off.

๐Ÿ”’ HOW IT WORKS

1. While game is running, expand Android notification area and tap on Play Lock notification - this will put Play Lock on front of the screen, but the game will continue to run in the background.
2. Cover the top of phone screen with hand or by putting it in your pocket and the screen will actually turn off , which will save battery life.
3. Uncover screen and double-tap on the unlock button, which is visible in the top-right corner. Enter the unlock pattern if you have set one and Play Lock is dismissed.
4. You can also unlock with fingerprint on supported devices*

โญ HIGHLIGHTS

- Save battery by turning screen off while you play games.
- Locks screen and buttons , so that you don't get out of game unintentionally.
- Listen music in video players and keep phone locked safely in your pocket (in Transparent mode).
- Hides phone keys while watching videos, so that you do not get out of video players by accident.
- Automatically lock when you are not using the running game for a while (Inactivity Lock is PRO feature)
- Use AUTO mode to run Play Lock only on apps that you have pre-selected, and have Play Lock locking notification only when you need it.
- Keeps screen On when locked, so that the phone's screen timeout does not turn your screen off, while you play games that does not keep screen on (disabled by default - check in Settings)

๐Ÿ† PRO version

- Play Lock is supported by Ads, and you can buy the PRO version, which is Ad-Free.
- PRO version of Play Lock also includes Inactivity monitor lock, which will automatically Play Lock the screen when you do not touch the game for a given time (interval could be changed in Settings).

* Fingerprint Unlock is available to only limited number of devices after Android Pie, even if they have fingerprint sensor. So if you can unlock with fingerprint - you are in luck; if you cannot - do not blame us.
