What Locking Mode should I use?
"Standard Lock"
Keep your display on while reading texts, recipes and other apps.
Keep your apps and settings away from kids during cartoons.
Transform tablet into a drawing board to improve your drawing skills.
"Frame Mode"
✓ Make only part of the screen untouchable with Frame Mode.
✓ Manage video and audio avoiding accidental touches.
✓ Make your gadget like a baby gallery, keeping the possibility of swiping and scaling photos, but locking unnecessary features.
"Blackout mode"
Transform your phone into a pocket music player.
Save battery charge upon watching videos (proximity sensor).
"Delay Launch"
If the video freezes when another lock mode is launched, try the "Delay Launch". Resume playback before the timer ends.
All of these Modes you can launch from the "Lock Modes Bar" and also choose your favourite in the "Modes" tab.
How to listen to Youtube with screen off?
You can use "Blackout Mode" with enabled "Proximity Sensor" option.
When the lock is started, you need to cover device screen with your hand and then the screen is really turned off. So if you put the phone in your pocket it will turn screen off and you will be listening music while saving battery.
Instead of "Proximity Sensor" you can use "Black Background" and "Minimum Backlight" options enabled. In this case you don't need to cover screen or put device into the pocket.
Can I touch lock Netflix, Amazon, Disney Now, etc?
You can use "Delay Launch" on the "Modes" tab. It is general-purpose Mode to resume playback.
Navigation controls, Status Bar or physical buttons are not locked.
Enable "Full Lock / Kids Mode" on the "Launch" tab. Also you should enable "Accessibility Features" for more stronger lock.
Why should I add this application to the Accessible Service?
Touch Lock uses the Accessibility Service to:
- Disable physical keys except the power button
- Enable fingerprint unlock protection
- Display Floating Button
- Access Netflix Controls
