Beaverton, OR -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/01/2015 -- The iPhone is no typical cell phone; it's a computer that fits in the palm of your hand. Consequently, the iPhone has become one of the most popular smart phones ever. It has its own fan base, and in some cases, it is superior to Android – mainly when it comes to security. However, there's no feature in the iPhone where users can hide and lock their sensitive information from other users, i.e. their spouses, siblings or other authorized users who may know the PIN. But what's really scary is if a criminal discovers a user's iPhone pass code – either by shoulder snooping or some other means – thieves will have full access to the victim's confidential files and folders. Thus, it becomes imperative that users' have some form of secondary data security on their iPhone.

This is where applications like Folder Lock Advanced come into play. This app can lock and hide images, videos, audios, PDFs, spreadsheets as well as credit card details. It also lets users write secret notes within the app's secure interface. What's more, social media users can also benefit from this app, as they can securely access their accounts through a password protected interface. Users also don't have to worry about losing their locked data, as there is an option to backup to DropBox.

The app has a host of secondary security features, such as hack-attempt monitoring (keeps a log of illegal password attempts), Panic switch (prevents shoulder surfers from snooping) and decoy mode (lets users setup a fake username and password).

So what makes Folder Lock Advanced better than the competition? First of all, there is no such application on the App Store that has this many features all packed into one. In a nutshell, Folder Lock advanced is the Swiss Army Knife of data security apps.
