Have you ever thought that an ordinary calculator can help you save a picture or video that you don’t want anyone to see? It might sound ridiculous, but imagine your calculator app functioning like a secret vault.
This is a technique that some savvy Millennials and Gen Z users have been practising. Keep reading as I reveal a simple yet effective approach to hiding those “crazy” files you don’t want to delete, while still keeping them on your Android or iOS device.
Let me start by describing the features of the app called Calculator Lock – Photo Vault, which has an impressive rating of 4.8 stars on the Google Play Store. I appreciate the functionalities I’ve explored so far, but I have to admit that I’m only beginning to uncover its full potential.
Before I explain how to set up your Secret Pin, let me emphasise how trustworthy this calculator app is. For instance, if you accidentally leave your phone in the living room with your wife and forget to lock the screen, she won’t be able to see any private photos, such as those sent to you by your girlfriend or ex last Friday. Yes, this calculator app has proven to be that reliable.
Additionally, if you or anyone else opens the app, it will function like a regular calculator. For example, if you type “2 × 9” and press “=”, you will get 18.
How It Works
Begin by installing the “Calculator Lock – Photo Vault” app on your phone. Once installed, click “Start” and set up your secret PIN, which should be a 4-digit number that you can easily remember. After this, you will be prompted to answer a secret question as a recovery option, in case you forget your PIN.
Once you’ve completed these steps, you can begin hiding any pictures, videos, documents, or receipts that you wish to keep private.
The great thing about this app is that once you hide your files and close it, it appears as a regular calculator app. Its disguise is so effective that you could even hide your banking app, making it difficult for anyone to discover this trick.
