Gallery Vault is an app that is useful to those who wish to hide certain image content on their mobile devices. Using the app, it is possible to prevent other users of the phone from accessing certain personal galleries.

Many people want to store images on their smartphones but don't want anyone else to be able to access these images or even know these images are present. Not only does the Gallery Vault app keep pictures hidden, but it also encrypts images so that they cannot be accessed by an unauthorized browser on the device.

It is difficult for a user of a smartphone- other than the smartphone's owner who put the app in place- to even notice that Gallery Vault is on a smartphone. That's because the app's icon is kept hidden.

The images that are hidden using the app are imported using the local file directly on the phone. Then, they are put into the app's hidden vault.
