In numerous daily situations, our phones might be unlocked and accessible to others. It only takes seconds for someone to access your phone. Shield helps keep apps locked or hidden from everyone but you and much more.
Why You Should Lock Down Your Apps
Imagine this scenario: You’re at a café, taking a moment to answer an important message. You set your phone down on the table, perhaps to pay for your coffee, only to find that a friend or a curious stranger reaches for it, casually exploring your apps before you can reclaim it.
It’s a minor lapse, but it’s all that’s needed for someone to glimpse private photos, sensitive conversations, confidential work files, or even sensitive personal information. With Shield: Antivirus Home Screen, you can lock down your apps and ensure your private information stays private, no matter who’s around.

At Work: If you’re leaving your phone on your desk during a meeting, you want to lock down your sensitive work apps.

Around Family Members: Children love playing with phones, and while they may not intentionally seek out sensitive apps, having App Lock ensures peace of mind.
Each scenario emphasizes how Shield: Antivirus Home Screen’s security features protect your private information —no matter where you are or whom you’re with.
How Shield Helps Keep Your Privacy Intact
Shield offers more than antivirus protection for anyone who wants to secure their device against prying eyes. Its app-locking and app-hiding features are designed to give you peace of mind, knowing your data remains confidential. Let’s dive into how Shield can help you safeguard your apps, and how these powerful features can become essential to protecting your privacy.
1. App Lock: Secure Access to Your Most Sensitive Apps
Our phones contain a wealth of information, from social media accounts and financial details to photos and private messages. Shield’s App Lock feature allows you to add a layer of security to any app on your device. By setting a PIN or password or using your fingerprint, you can ensure that only you have access to the apps you choose to protect.
If you frequently hand your phone to friends to show them photos or have children who sometimes use your device for games, this feature can be a game-changer. Shield’s App Lock ensures that even if someone has your phone in hand, they won’t be able to access your private information. Shield ensures your sensitive information stays safe, whether it’s your banking app, messaging platform, or social media accounts.
2. App Hide: Make Your Most Important Apps Invisible
Sometimes, the best way to protect something is to make it disappear entirely. With Shield’s App Hide feature, you can keep selected apps hidden from your home screen. This feature is perfect for those who value an extra layer of privacy for sensitive apps that don’t need to be accessed frequently.
For example, your device might have work-related apps or secure messaging platforms you want to keep out of sight. App Hide allows you to conceal them completely. Only you will know where they are, making it virtually impossible for anyone else to stumble upon them—even by accident. This feature is also beneficial if you’re traveling or in situations where you may be sharing your device more than usual. Shield ensures that your hidden apps stay that way until you’re ready to make them visible again.
A True Shield: Other Essential Features
Protect Yourself from Sneaky Installations with Advanced Malware Scanning
A locked or hidden app is one way to keep prying eyes away, but sometimes security threats go beyond curious friends or family members. Malicious apps can be accidentally downloaded, exposing your private information to hackers or installing spyware without your knowledge.
Shield’s Advanced Malware Scanner, with its impressive 99% detection rate, adds an extra layer of protection. If anyone were to try installing an app on your phone—malicious or otherwise—without your permission, Shield’s malware scanner would catch it, helping keep your personal data safe from online threats.
VPN for Added Privacy in Public Spaces
When protecting your data, Shield doesn’t stop at just securing your apps. The app’s VPN (Virtual Private Network) feature gives you extra privacy, particularly in public spaces. When you connect to a public WiFi network at a café, airport, or hotel, there’s always a risk of your data being exposed to cybercriminals.
With Shield’s VPN, your internet traffic is encrypted, making it significantly harder for anyone to intercept or access your information. It’s a valuable addition, especially when using Shield’s app-lock and app-hide features to secure your device's most sensitive apps.
WiFi Scanner: Stay Alert to Network Threats
Public WiFi networks can be vulnerable to security risks, and Shield’s WiFi Scanner helps you stay aware of any potential network threats. This feature detects suspicious activity on your current network, allowing you to connect confidently. Combined with Shield’s VPN, the WiFi scanner ensures that your data stays protected when you’re on the go.
This means you can use your apps securely and have peace of mind that your private information remains shielded from any unwanted access.
Upgrade to Shield Pro for Enhanced Security
For those who want to go above and beyond with security, Shield Pro offers even more advanced features to protect your device. With Shield Pro, you’ll get enhanced functionality to secure your apps, online activities, and devices. Whether it’s more robust malware protection or additional customization for app-lock and hide settings, Shield Pro makes it easy to keep your phone fully secured.
