New Android App Dummy Mode Protects the Privacy of Smartphone Owners

Once activated, Dummy Mode replaces Android home screen apps with privacy-preserving dummies that block unwanted snooping, app creator reports

SAINT PETERSBURG, Fla. – September 24, 2019 /MarketersMedia/ —

The average smartphone today holds huge amounts of personal, private information. Thanks to the release of the new Dummy Mode app, Android device users have a discreet new way to protect their privacy even when sharing their phones with others.

Once activated, Dummy Mode replaces a phone’s home screen and launcher with safe, controlled facsimiles. Apps displayed there can be activated by others but display only basic, generic screens with no actual functionality.

Dummy Mode allows Android owners to specify particular apps to be activated in full on the replacement home screen. The Dummy Mode launcher also enables access to a phone’s camera but blocks off the device’s gallery.

Also displaying real, non-sensitive information like time, signal strength, and battery level, Dummy Mode is both effective and stealthy. With the PIN-protected Dummy Mode app itself remaining hidden and accessible only from a phone’s settings, others will have no idea it is even installed.

These features combine to enable unprecedented levels of privacy and control when a phone is being used by someone other than its owner. The privacy-protecting Dummy Mode can even be controlled by voice or means like touch ID on phones that support such features. Once it has been set up, Dummy Mode simply needs to be toggled on to enable its full range of protection.

“Privacy is an understandable concern for many people today, and smartphones have the potential to expose vast amounts of potentially embarrassing or damaging information,” said Dummy Mode creator Tennay Davis. “Within seconds, someone snooping around on another person’s unprotected phone can unearth dozens of sensitive pictures, messages, or other types of private data. I created Dummy Mode to enable a virtually undetectable way to keep private information protected even when others are using a phone, whether with permission or illicitly. I think many Android device owners are going to appreciate how Dummy Mode puts them back in control of their privacy.”

As the best and easiest way to protect against unwanted snooping and prying eyes, Dummy Mode will be of interest to all who care about privacy. Dummy Mode for Android is available for free Download now at the Google Play store, with a version for Apple iOS devices planned to follow in the future.
