Locker helps wipe your smartphone if you lose it

It’s an unfortunate incident when you lose your phone and definitely more devastating when it gets stolen. But sometimes what makes that more harrowing is losing the data on said device and giving others access to your personal information. A new Android app can help you avoid this fiasco. Locker from Zygote Labs will give you a specific number of times you can unlock your device. If you exceed said number of tries, the data and content of your device will be wiped. You’ll get a warning when there are just four attempts or less left when you try to unlock your Android phone. A new update was released recently to support Norwegian and Finnish languages. The app is open source so anyone interested in helping develop the app or just explore it more can do so through the GitHub repository.
