Gallery Vault

Gallery Vault is a mobile privacy app built for phones. It helps you hide and secure personal items such as files, photos, videos, and other sensitive information.

You can protect your content by encrypting it with options like password, fingerprint, and facial recognition to keep your data private.

The app also includes a built-in browser. Just enter keywords to locate content, then download what you need directly to your device—so your experience can match how you use your phone.

If someone tries to access your protected gallery when you’re not around, Gallery Vault can capture their face and send it to your other linked devices, adding extra protection to your device security.

Key Features

Hide Icon

This feature lets you hide the Gallery Vault app icon and replace it with a calculator-style icon. The goal is to prevent others from noticing that you’re using a vault app on your phone—so there’s less suspicion from friends or colleagues.

Fake Password

You can set a decoy (fake) password for times when you need to unlock something in front of others. When someone enters the fake password, the app can display a separate set of disguised images as if they were your hidden files, while your real protected content stays safe.

Security Alert

If you leave your phone somewhere and worry that someone might try to open your vault while you’re away, Gallery Vault can send a security alert to you (including via email). This helps you track suspicious attempts.

Hide Photos and Videos

Gallery Vault works as a secure storage area mainly for photos and videos, and it can also protect other files you choose to keep private.

Easy to Use

Using Gallery Vault is straightforward. The interface is designed to be easy to understand, and the app’s performance is generally stable without major technical issues during normal use.

Connect with Your Email Address

The app asks you for an email address to support security features, including password reset if you forget it. The same email can also help you recover files when you switch to a newer Android phone.

User Reviews

Several users mention strong performance over time, while others report issues like crashing during browsing or viewing, especially when audio is involved. Some reviews also highlight settings for removing duplicates and suggest improvements (for example, making it easier to delete old/existing duplicates in bulk).
