Having a smartphone is something that might be called a necessity, and all personal data we usually store on our cellphones. So everything must have important data on our cellphones. Well, one of them is to maintain the security of the cellphones that we use, namely being able to lock some files that may indeed be important.
Every cellphone has security features, from pattern lock, fingerprint, and application lock, it must have been provided, because to keep important files on our cellphones.
Including one example is a photo or video. Because it concerns us personally, so we also have to be observant when leaving our cellphones, make sure we have a key so that it cannot be opened by anyone other than ourselves.
Well but this time we will discuss how to lock photos and videos on the iPhone for friends who use this iPhone.
If you want to lock the iPhone gallery, it’s a bit difficult and easy, this is different from cellphones in general, where we have to use special tricks so that our photos and videos on the iPhone can be locked and safe without anyone accessing it.
One of the things we can do to lock photos or videos on the iPhone is to use the features of the iOS Notes application.
Although the iPhone gallery does not yet support the gallery lock option or photos and videos, the iOS Notes application in general offers support for making secret notes that are created or designed to secure our personal data, including photos and videos.
