A calculator vault app is only as safe as how it stores your data. The safest ones keep everything encrypted on your device, with no account and no cloud upload. Riskier ones send your photos to a server.
What to check before trusting a vault app
- On-device storage — your files never leave your phone.
- No account — nothing to leak in a data breach.
- Encryption — files are encrypted at rest.
- Clear privacy policy — states that no content is uploaded.
How LockApps protects your data
LockApps stores your photos, videos and contacts encrypted on your iPhone. There's no account, no server, and nothing is uploaded — so there's no cloud to breach. You can confirm this in our privacy policy.
For extra safety, combine the vault with a decoy password and Face ID app lock.
The trade-off to remember
Because data is on-device and the passcode can't be recovered, only you can open the vault — but if you forget the passcode, the contents can't be restored. That's the price of true privacy.
