Hide Pictures - KeepSafe Vault
Videos and pictures are most private in nature and this application is specifically meant to keep them secure. You can set aside pictures that are not of a private nature and hence would be available for others to see while the selected pictures can only be accessed after using a user-generated password. The application is simple - just select pictures and videos that you want to hide and they will then vanish from the Gallery of your Android smartphone and stay locked in the Keep Safe. You can only access those once you key in the PIN. It also has an innovative feature called Fake Pin which would protect you from people who will force you to open the app. Choose a second PIN that opens a fake KeepSafe where you can put pictures you are ok for others to see. No one knows you have a real KeepSafe PIN

Privacy Master - Free App Lock
Many times we have applications that are a little too sensitive for everyone to access, but it is very difficult to monitor that especially around nosey relatives. Privacy Master - Free App Lock simply locks the apps and one can only access them if they have the password. One can lock any application including settings and even messages. The application also allows users to trigger a fake app crash prompt so that when trying to open an app the other person will get a crash prompt. The app is very light on resources and never fails and that is what the best part about this application. The popularity of the app is palpable from the fact that over five lakh of its 6.28 lakh users have given it a five-star rating so far.

Lock for WhatsApp Keep privacy
WhatsApp is currently one of the most popular messaging applications used globally. It is quite possible that you have a few contacts and chats that you don't want other people to pry on. One can use a normal application locking utility but it would be a pain to unlock the application every time a new message arrives. Since WhatsApp doesn't come with any built-in freature like this, Lock for WhatsApp is the perfect tool. It allows users to lock the application on demand. But at the same time it comes with a timed lock feature that makes the lock unavailable for a specified time so that users don't have to unlock the app every time they get a new message.

Shady Browser
Say you want to keep your browsing history a secret, While browsers have an incognito mode, there is always a chance that you might forget to turn the feature on. Shady Browser, however, comes with a password that is required to get inside the browser. Also, history and browser bookmarks are also securely hidden. The browser supports most features included in the native Android browser along with support for multiple tabs as well as a dedicated download manager. The browser at present does not support video playback within the application itself but the developer is working on the feature. Shady Browser supports flash, but the plug-in needs to be installed on the device.
