Why password protect only the Photo app when you can do it to the whole phone?

Maybe he has some special pictures that he does not want seen but doesnt want to use the annoying pin feature.

The problem with password protecting anything that your gf will see as protected is this. She will become even more curious as to why they are on your phone. Best thing is to move them over to a thumb drive.

Just my opinion, but if you have a gf that can't be trusted NOT to snoop, OR if you are doing something your gf would not like behind her back....perhaps its time to reevaluate having that gf.

Either way is disrespectful and does not bode well. BTW, that does NOT mean either of you is "wrong"...just wrong for each other, perhaps.

Find a gf that respects your privacy and from whom you will not wish to hide things and you will not need to find a password app.

Well said.

(But there should still be an app for that, though.)

Hey guys.. think positive

He just don't want here to see the pictures he took of some decoration that he want to use for her surprise party, or from her long last father he finally found and is trying to get them booth to a meeting, and so on...

It's not something dirty, at least i hope it.

But such an app would be pretty good... got no girlfriend but i like to show my pre to make some ad for it. And maybe i got some pictures i don't want somebody to see. Or i just dont get them on the device

sheeeesh.. thank u.
but actually ima free man. but i do have to leave my phone in a public place at work if i choose to charge it
and alot of the time ill let people hold my phone to show it off and let them fool around with it, i dont need them wondering into the 'wrong' area of my phone...

sidenote: i have the patch no QL bar. i love handing my phone to people and watch them fiddle for 7 seconds before handing it back to me saying "how does it work?" hehehe

edit: and i hate pinning everytime the phone locks... hitting the power button is habit for me.
