At the first opening of the program you will be asked to enter and repeat the PIN and, if necessary, to grant permissions for the functioning of the app.

Once you have completed both operations, you can protect WhatsApp with a password by simply setting the corresponding switch to "On". It is possible to do the same with the other supported apps - including Messenger, Hangouts, Telegram, Skype, the gallery and the Messages app itself.

When you activate the protection you can choose whether the PIN must be requested immediately after closing of the app or if, before the next request it will have to pass some time (for example two minutes), great feature for those who continuously open and close the messaging apps.

By tapping on the wheel Settings at the top right you can further refine the behavior of the app with aspects such as:

• requesting the PIN to access the Android settings;
• the non-display of notifications related to protected apps;
• the PIN request in case of an attempt to uninstall the app;
• the PIN request in case you try to open the Google Play Store;
• modifies the PIN.
