Hi guys,
I'm searching for some messenger with strong privacy and "secret" features. Better explained, I've found Telegram as a good alternative to Whatsapp with its encryption features, but it lacks one thing that I really need: I'd like to keep some chat very private: it will be very useful if the conversation had some kind of PIN-password-pattern unlocking features.
This is possible for sms (Handcent, for example), but I haven't found it in any Messenger service.
Do you know any?
Bump. I'm looking for one too. I looked into evolveSms but I think its a bit over priced for the features. I'm currently using handcent but I don't really like the UI.
I have a data plan with limited sms, so I am interested in messenger/chat service like Whatsapp, Telegram, Kakao Talk and so on, but they all don't offer the 'private chat' option.

You could just lock Telegram with another app? There are tons on the Play Store.

Yes, I know, but this is the last option. I'd like to find a solution within the messenger app.
Threema has an Option for PIN Protection.
If activated you have to enter your PIN Code before you can see the messages.
The Problem with Threema is the same with most other messengers ... it´s not open source.
Go Sms Pro
Try GO SMS PRO the best messaging app on playstore it has lots of themes a good ui and the most important one privacy !!! you can protect your messages with pin or pattern lock !!! you can search on play store. I think you have to pay for some features but you can try it !!!

Once again, I'm not interested in sms app, I need some messenger app working through data network. Maybe with the same features of go sms pro.
As shiva-afk stated, Threema has the protection option you want. It provides end-to-end encryption and protects your send/received messages/media:
First, you can protect your conversations if you set a passphrase for your encryption key. So, if you end the Threema process or reboot your phone, you have to enter this passphrase first before you can access any chat log or received pictures since they are stored encrypted (unless you exported them from the app into common store like the sd card).
Second, you can set a PIN to the app itself. So, even if you have unlocked the key with your passphrase, the app locks itself after being idle for some time and asks for a pin. You can define the time before it locks itself in several steps (30s, 1m, 2m, 5m, 10m, 20m).
However, it is not free (costs ~1,60€) and its not open source. The devs (from Switzerland) claim to use the common NaCl-library for crypto, but you must trust their sayings.

At the place I am working, I am using my personal Galaxy S8+ and there are tons of apps I need to install for work, from communication to authentication related apps.
I want to know whether there's some kind of an app or internal function which can simply disable apps predefined by me on weekends or a chosen time to conserve battery and data?
Hi
We run Maas360 to control approximately 200 android mobiles. One thing lacking in this MDM is to be able to populate the contacts with important numbers. We need to be able to put an Icon on the home screen of all the mobiles so that when they tap the icon it will dial a special landline number that we have for emergencies. I have looked through a lot of the dialer apps but the all seem to use the phones contacts which we don't have any control over. Can anyone think of a way we can achieve this? Currently google chrome is greyed out on the phones due to limiting them to no internet and no playstore access.
Ideas anyone?
Regards

I'm looking for a way to locate phone if lost or stolen. I've used Cerberus for years with good luck, but my paid account has been mysteriously deleted? The key features would be:
1. Locate phone with gps and wifi triangulation
2. Take front and rear photos on command
3. Ability to hide app (root is OK)
I've done some searching, but most threads are very old. Thanks in advance.
Hey, my Cerberus account is gone as well and I've been looking for forum posts reviewing alternatives, but haven't found that many, so decided to mention the best ones I've found myself:
Prey Anti Theft - This app can track the location of your phone using GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell towers. You can also remotely take photos and lock your phone. Prey can be hidden from the app drawer and disguised as a system app to prevent it from being uninstalled.
Lost Android - This app allows you to remotely control your phone via text messages from another phone. You can locate your phone, take photos, lock your phone, and wipe your phone's data. Lost Android also has a stealth mode that hides the app icon and prevents uninstallation.
Avast Mobile Security - This app offers anti-theft protection, malware protection, and a VPN. You can track your phone's location, remotely lock it, and take photos and videos. Avast can also hide itself from the app drawer and disguised as a system app.
Lookout Security & Antivirus - This app provides anti-theft protection, malware protection, and identity theft protection. You can track your phone's location, remotely lock it, and take photos and videos. Lookout can also hide itself from the app drawer and disguised as a system app.
Most of these are paid though, but if someone needs a free alternative there are few options as well.

It's not native you'll have to use an app like shelter or island
