Natively, iOS allows you to set a passcode (or indeed, an alphanumeric password) to protect your device from prying eyes, which is great, of course, when it works. However, it’s a bit of an inconvenience to continue unlocking a device and typing in those digits if, in actual fact, we only really want to lock one or two apps down. Recognizing that people don’t tend to take advantage of iOS’s security features to safeguard their Angry Birds score, one developer has come through with a great jailbreak tweak that allows you to securely protect your device’s photos with a password.

Sure, the tweak – named Protect Photos – is certainly not the first of its kind. But when we’re talking about the security of our devices and in this case, our images and photos, it’s worth making a bit of additional noise for a utility that covers all bases. Protect Photo goes above and beyond the call of duty, not only allowing you to protect the Photos app, but also theCamera app, and you can protect photos accessible from within other apps by using this free tweak.
