How to Lock Apps and Hide Files on Vivo X300/X300 Pro

Accessing Privacy Settings

• ⚙️ Begin by opening the Settings app on your Vivo X300 or X300 Pro.
• 🔒 Navigate to Security & Privacy, then select Privacy settings to access app locking and file hiding options.

App Encryption

• 🔑 To lock apps, go to App Encryption and create a secure privacy password.
• ⚠️ It's crucial to ensure your password is not easily guessable and to change it if prompted for security reasons.
• 🖼️ Select an app, such as Albums, to encrypt. This will require the privacy password every time the app is opened.

Hiding Photos and Files

• 📸 To hide photos, select the desired picture, tap More, and then choose Hide.
• 📂 Hidden photos can be viewed within the Albums settings under Hidden Photos.
• ⏳ You can configure App lock timing to be instant or set a delay (e.g., 1 minute) after the screen is locked or the app is closed.
• 🗑️ Within the hidden photos section, you have the option to unhide or delete the items.

Private Space for Files

• 🎵 For other file types like ringtones or MP3s, the Private Space feature is recommended, offering a more robust way to keep sensitive media private.
• 💡 This feature is suggested as a better alternative to app encryption and basic file hiding for certain media types.
