We protect our smartphone apps and settings with Password locking app, such as AppLock. It increases smartphone security and anyone can’t access our important data (Files, Music, Videos, Apps and settings without permission.
This protection can be unlocked by 1- Entering a correct password, 2- Password reset option, 3- Uninstalling AppLocking app.
The third trick will only work when we have not locked Smartphone Settings with the AppLock password. But will do, if we have also locked Smartphone Settings with the AppLock password. Can’t do anything because we can uninstall AppLock from the App manager option and the App manager is available in the Smartphone Settings. Therefore when App Manager is locked with password then we can’t uninstall it.
