How to lock your WhatsApp on your Android

Posted by: Taslim OKUNOLA 10/05/2015 0

Ever gave a friend your phone to do something on it and you found out (s)he is busy looking for something else? Like checking into your conversations in your messaging apps like WhatsApp, BBM, Hangouts. I have tons of conversations I won’t want anybody else to see; not because I’m hiding anything bad but I value and cherish my privacy. A friend once asked me how she could lock her gallery app and others. She was like; “I have some private files I wouldn’t want anybody I give my phone to see.” I guess I should just let everyone know the simple apps that could render the simple help.

1. Messenger and Chat Lock

This app lets you protect your messages from WhatsApp, BBM, WeChat, Telegram, Viber, LINE, Hangouts, GTalk, Facebook, SMS, Kakao Talk, Kik Messenger, Tango, SnapChat, Twitter, Instagram, Tinder, MeetMe, Skype and Yahoo Messenger behind a PIN. Keep you privacy and maintain secure!
You can also configure it to protect your images and videos from your device gallery.
After installation it will ask you to set a 4 digit PIN, and will show the configuration options to lock these apps.
You can customize auto-lock time, so you don’t need to enter the PIN every time you change task on your device.
If you enter a wrong pin and your phone has front camera, it will take a picture of the intruder and save it inside the application.
Have fun in detecting the intruder! (Only devices with front camera)
Features
★ It’s free and has no limitations.
★ Best Whatsapp Lock on market

★ Protect uninstallation and settings for more security

Be forewarned, there are a ton of advertisements littered around it

Buhari, Tinubu And Saraki Affair

By
Anybody that truly understands democratic politics would agree with me on these next points. In more-developed democratic nations, as soon as a government is formed, regardless of the constitution of the individuals that make up that government, it is expected that the leaders of that government have to work together. A careful case in point is President Barack Obama having to work with the Republican Speaker of the United States (US) House of Representative, John Boehner, and the Majority Leader of the US Senate, Mitch McConnell, who is also a Republican. However one chooses to look at it, it is unacceptable that nearly 100 days since the inauguration of the 8th National Assembly, President Buhari has chosen not to engage in a formal capacity with the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, who is a member of his own party. This development is equally problematic when you look at the President’s statement immediately after the June 9th election of presiding officers of...

Windows 10: Changing the world in a dynamic way

By
Windows 10 is an entirely new version of the veteran Windows operating system – a version that is make-or-break for Microsoft. It was released on 29 July in seven versions, which we'll tell you a lot more about below, as well as give you our complete verdict on all aspects of the new OS. Even though Windows 8.1 did improve things, there's no escaping that with Windows 8 , Microsoft was hugely complacent, buoyed by the success of Windows 7 . It drastically misunderstood its users with a fundamentally changed user interface which didn't make any logical sense and was hard to learn. It failed us. It failed itself. Thankfully 2015 Microsoft is pretty different to 2012 Microsoft. The key management of the corporation has changed. It has woken up to the fact that people can choose other operating systems. It's keen on making stuff for OS X, Linux, iOS and Android. As you'll hear, it's allowing apps from other platforms to be easily ported to Windo...

Adeleke University– We have the new cure for liver disease

By
The Dean, Faculty of Sciences of the Adeleke University, Ede, Prof. Temitope Oyedepo, has said that the university has discovered that the mixture of omi ogi and lemon has a great potency to cure liver problems. Omi ogi is the fermented water on the paste-like substance derived from blended maize. Oyedepo said this in an interview with our correspondent in Osogbo last Monday. While claiming that the university had made a lot of contributions to science, the don added that research was ongoing to know if the solution could also treat high blood pressure and blood glucose. “We have carried out studies on extracts of local plants to establish their authenticity in treating cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes and even cancer. We are currently carrying our research on omi ogi and lemon. This protects and cleans up the liver even when it is already infected. “We are still going f...
