Vault 1.0.2: encrypted details and an optional passcode
After a security review we ran ourselves, Vault now encrypts item names, types, sizes and dates, and adds an optional passcode of its own.
Vault keeps your private photos, videos and files encrypted. Version 1.0.2, out on the App Store on 12 October, is a big security and privacy update that grew out of a security review we ran ourselves.
Item names, types, sizes and dates are now encrypted too, like the photos and files themselves. You can set a vault passcode, separate from your phone's, with Face ID on top. The vault locks the moment your phone locks, and nothing shows in the app switcher or while the screen is recorded or mirrored. Backup files are stronger as well.
Please update Vault on all your devices: version 1.0.1 cannot open items added or upgraded by 1.0.2. Vault and our other utilities are on the utilities page.
