Lock Applications

Is there any way to lock one application at a time instead of locking the entire phone? IE, if i want to lock my address book so no one can see who is in my book, can i just lock the address book?

Re: Lock Applications

Hello neesie32 and welcome to the support forums

 

This is not possible on a BlackBerry. You would have to lock the entire device in order to proctect it's contents.

Re: Lock Applications

Unfortunately this is not an available function.  I even checked to see if anyone has created an application for this yet, and it doesn't seem that they have.  Accordingly, at this point in time, it seems it's an all or nothing lock - either the entire device is locked, or the entire device is unlocked.

 

Keep an eye out for applications that can do this for you, but as I stated, I haven't seen anything yet.  :smileyhappy:

Re: Lock Applications

Great, so you did find an app!  I'm really happy to hear!  (I figured someone must've created one, but hadn't found it).

Hey I would like to recommend an app named secure my apps that allows to share your device without having to worry about someone viewing your apps or accessing your personal photos, apps , text and e-mail. Plus, it protects your data from accidental deletion.Additionally, you can setup unique profiles and have them automatically start at a preset time. So you can keep your work and your personal life separate.Plus, you can lock both native Blackberry apps along with third party apps from the BlackBerry App World. Secure My Apps is now available in BlackBerry App World @ $2.99 http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore ... 89?lang=en
