Are photo vault apps safe?
Many photo vault apps only lock a folder of unencrypted files. Prefer on-device AES encryption, no mandatory account, honest recovery, and a privacy nutrition label that does not harvest your library.
Six checks
- Privacy nutrition label vs screenshots marketing
- Encryption named with mode (e.g. AES-GCM), not just “secure”
- Account requirement
- Export path you control
- What deleting the app does
- Price model (ads, subscription, lifetime)
Blopman is built around local encryption and quantity limits—not around an account graph.
