In brief
What is VaultBox?
VaultBox is an iOS privacy app for hiding and encrypting personal photos, videos and documents. It is not an app hider for other installed apps, a social network, or a VaultBox-operated cloud gallery.
Product
Privacy that fits real life.
A separate boundary for the moments when your unlocked phone is in someone else’s hands.
Encrypt
Files and thumbnails are encrypted before VaultBox stores them.
Protect
Open the vault with your private PIN or Face ID, separate from simply unlocking the phone.
Disguise
Use a working calculator, notes, weather or clock cover on your Home Screen.
Security
Your private files are not our product.
VaultBox protects file contents on your device. Product analytics can record event names, such as a feature being opened, but do not include your photos, videos, documents or the content inside them.

FAQ
Photo privacy questions
Direct answers to the questions people ask before trusting a privacy app.
How does VaultBox hide photos on iPhone?
Import photos and videos into VaultBox, where they are encrypted and protected by your private PIN and Face ID. You can then remove the originals from Apple Photos when you are ready.
Does VaultBox upload my private photos to its own servers?
No. VaultBox encrypts your files on your device. If you enable encrypted backup, the backup is stored in your iCloud account rather than on a VaultBox photo-storage server.
Can VaultBox look like a calculator?
Yes. VaultBox can disguise its icon and opening screen as everyday apps including a working calculator, notes, weather or clock.
Is VaultBox an app hider?
No. VaultBox does not hide or lock other installed apps. It hides and encrypts photos, videos and documents inside its own private vault.
Is VaultBox different from the iPhone Hidden album?
Yes. VaultBox adds a separate private PIN, encrypted file storage, app disguises, a decoy vault, break-in alerts and optional encrypted backup to your iCloud account.
Is VaultBox free?
VaultBox is free to download and explore. Some advanced privacy protections require an optional in-app subscription.
