FAQ

What is the difference between turning off the Wi-Fi and cellular connection versus using the PrivacyLock app?

When you turn off the Wi-Fi and cellular connection, you are essentially going off the grid; hence, you will not receive important messages, calls, emails, and other alerts, and you're kept unaware of what is happening. With the PrivacyLock app, you are fully connected to your email, text, and voice calls; the only difference is that your device’s microphone and cameras are disabled from being accessed.

Why doesn't my voice recorder and voice commands work when I am using the PrivacyLock App?

It is by design: PrivacyLock acts like a jammer, jamming devices, cameras, and mics. Hence, no other application will have access to or use your device's mics and cameras.


Will my authorized app still have access to my device's microphone and cameras?

No, the app blocks access to everything that wants to access your device's cameras and microphones; therefore, you cannot use the voice recorder or anything that requires the use of microphones and cameras.

Will I receive calls, text messages, and emails?

Yes, in the case of texts and emails, the operation stays uninterrupted. However, when you answer a call, the application gets disabled for you to be able to use the microphone and cameras.

Will the PrivacyLock app have access to my camera and microphones?

No, no party will have access to your camera and microphones. The app creates a simulated voice and video call.

Why is the app asking for access to my microphone and cameras?

It’s requesting access because the app's simulated call will fully occupy your microphone and cameras, preventing their use by other sources.

What is the purpose of the app asking for location information?

It’s an optional feature. We highly recommend using this feature as a flight recorder that will give you great insight into where, when, and for how long you used the privacy mode. It also serves as a reminder.
