Raising Digitally Responsible Youth

Vault Apps

Vault apps are mobile applications designed to hide private photos, videos, files, or other applications on a device, usually by using the icon of another app such as a calculator, camera, or notes. Vault apps are popular amongst teens in order to protect their mobile privacy by using app locking, private bookmarks, incognito browsing, cloud backup, and more. However, teens should be reminded that using technology is a privilege and they are not entitled to full privacy on their devices for their own safety .

The “Rules” (That No One Follows)

Although many social media platforms and apps have a User Minimum Age Agreement 58 either to sign up or outlined in their Terms of Service, these are typically bypassed by younger users to bypass this effort.
