O Lockwatch It's pretty cool! If someone tries to access your cell phone and gets the password wrong, they take a photo and send it to your email. Furthermore, it also shows you the location of your cell phone. In other words, it's great for catching curious people and also for finding your cell phone if you lose it.
O CrookCatcher works in the same way as Lockwatch, taking a photo of whoever tries to enter your cell phone and gets the password wrong. But it has a difference: if the person tries to turn off your cell phone or put it in airplane mode, it sends you an alert. So, in addition to catching onlookers, it also helps if someone steals your cell phone.
O Third Eye is another very interesting application. He does the same thing as the other two, taking a photo of whoever gets the wrong cell phone password. But it has an extra function: it records every time the cell phone is unlocked. This way, you can find out if someone used your cell phone when you weren't looking.
These are just a few examples of the apps out there. But always remember to choose one that is reliable and safe, okay? There's no point in using an app to increase the security of your cell phone and ending up downloading one that puts your information at risk.
Configuring your Security Application
The first thing you need to do is download the app from your cell phone's app store. It could be the Play Store, if you use Android, or the App Store, if you use iPhone.
After downloading, just click to install. A window will appear asking for some permissions, such as access to the camera and GPS. You need to accept it, otherwise the app won't be able to do its job.
After installation, it's time to configure. Typically, applications have a settings screen where you can choose where the photos and information will be sent (it could be to your email, for example).
You can also configure other things, such as the number of times the person can get the password wrong before the app takes the photo.
And after you set it up, it's a good idea do a test to see if everything is working right. Try to get your cell phone password wrong on purpose and see if the app takes the photo and sends it to the place you chose.
And ready! Now you know how to configure your security application. Remembering that each application can be a little different, so it's always good to read the instructions and tips they give.
And, if you have any questions, consult this article or ask someone who understands more about technology for help. But the most important thing is to feel safe and know that your cell phone is protected against onlookers!
