Video Locker is an Android app for keeping selected personal videos in a private collection separate from the main gallery. A PIN protects the collection, and hidden videos can be organised into folders with folder-level locks. Users can hide multiple videos together and choose where to restore them. The app stores hidden media on the device rather than in a Handy Apps cloud media library. Google Play says the hidden videos use 128-bit AES encryption. The free plan is available, while listed premium features include Stealth Mode, fingerprint login and ad-free viewing. On Android 10 and later, Stealth Mode cannot hide the app icon, although the Calculator(VL) widget can still open the locker. Because storage is local, Handy Apps advises unhiding and backing up videos before uninstalling, clearing app data or resetting the phone. PIN recovery does not provide a cloud copy of the media. Video Locker is distributed through Google Play, with availability varying by device and region. Handy Apps says it began in 2009 and is based in Singapore.
Who it is for
It suits Android users who want PIN-protected video storage, folder organisation and local encrypted media. It is also relevant to users who understand that backups are their responsibility.
