Wouldn't it be nice.....

I am very sure we all have personal information on our devices that sometimes we don't want to share with the whole world. Like when someone wants to make a call on your phone and they start browsing/playing with it like it was theirs, without your permission. Now your stuck, and don't want to offend whomever, waiting to get back your phone. (Or) Your baby, niece, nephew, child, etc... wants to play with your phone and you play them a video, they walk away with your phone and accidentilly pull up something not intended for them but they are showing your phone to other members. (How can you explain that it was a mistake when the proof is in their little hands.)
Can someone make a program that would lock down the phone but would temporary unlock what you want the other person to view. Then locks up completely on them when they go into other areas of the phone you never granted them access to to go into in the first place.
(Kinda like speeding up the process and not having to offend anybody in getting your phone back like, not now but right now, or, I've been waiting since yesterday to get my phone back, etc..................................@**#%!&...... ....)

Re: Wouldn't it be nice.....

i don't often have this problem because if people want to see stuff on my phone i normally just operate the phone for them, but when i leave the room people seem to think my phone is fair game. great idea. i hope someone can figure it out

Re: Wouldn't it be nice.....

well lets say in the case of photos or videos, just make a folder include your sensitive data and password encrypt it so nobody has access to that extremely private data. As far as being concerned with others reading texts messages and things of that nature just put a password lock on the phone so that you have to type in a key to unlock it...therefore someone would have to ask to use your phone and you would atleast have that second to make an excuse. hope that advice helps
