See who tried to get in
The next time you open your vault, you see when someone tried, how many times, and a photo from the front camera.
Coming soon to the App StoreWhoever tries sees “Wrong pattern”. You see who tried.
While the photo is taken, iOS shows its green camera dot for a second. Underlock shows nothing else.
How wrong tries are noted
-
Turn it on in App settings. Switch on Note wrong tries, and Photo on wrong tries for the photos. Before the first photo, Underlock tells you what happens.
-
Your own slips aren’t noted. A wrong try in the 10 seconds before you open your vault is your own, so Underlock deletes it, photo and all.
-
The decoy pattern clears them. If someone makes you open Underlock with your decoy pattern, the tries and their photos are deleted unseen.
-
Nothing leaves your iPhone. The photos wait on this iPhone, encrypted, with no location attached.
-
A wait after 5 wrong tries. After 5 wrong tries in a row, the next try has to wait: 30 seconds, then 1, 5 and 15 minutes, then 1 hour.
-
No wipe after wrong tries. Wrong tries never delete a file or a vault, however many there are.
Questions
Yes. Noting wrong tries, with their photos, is part of Underlock Pro. The wait after 5 wrong tries is in every plan, free included. If Pro ends, new tries aren’t noted, and tries already noted still show at your next open. See pricing
Underlock shows them Wrong pattern, as it does for anyone. While the photo is taken, iOS shows its green camera dot for about a second, and that’s all.
They wait on this iPhone, encrypted, until a vault opens. Keep in vault saves one in that vault as an ordinary photo; the rest are deleted when you close the notice.
The decoy pattern deletes the tries and their photos unseen, so the person watching never sees them. Decoy pattern
No. The wait keeps counting while Underlock is closed and while your iPhone is locked.
