Set up in two minutes

1. Turn on Android theft protection. In Android settings, look for Theft Protection under Google settings, and use Find Hub for locating and remote lock. Private Lock adds to these; it doesn't replace them.
2. Choose a Private Lock PIN that is different from your screen lock. If someone watches you type your passcode, that code shouldn't also open your money apps.
3. Turn on the Private Lock accessibility service. Android asks you to do this yourself. The app explains first what it does and doesn't see (it only notices which app opens, never your screen's content).
4. Pick the apps to protect: banking, email, messages, your gallery, a crypto wallet app.
5. Add the Out & about tile. Pull down Quick Settings, tap the pencil or Edit, and drag "Out & about" into your tiles. One tap turns the mode on from anywhere.
6. Optional: choose the apps that stay open in Lend mode, and turn on uninstall protection.
7. Keep it running. Open Protection health in the app and follow the steps for your phone brand so battery savers don't stop the lock.
