Full description
Wrong PIN. Phone picked up. Charger unplugged. SIM swapped. Pocket Guardian catches them all. Pocket Guardian is the most complete Android app for protection against unauthorized access. The moment an intruder touches your device — it silently captures a front-camera selfie, timestamps the event, and saves every detail. No sound. No flash. No notification. The intruder never knows they were photographed. PHOTO TRIGGERS — RANKED FROM MOST POWERFUL TO ADDITIONAL ① Wrong PIN on lock screen → silent intruder selfie [Device Admin required] ② SIM card removed, inserted or locked → photo on SIM theft attempt ③ SIM carrier changed → SIM swap detection — catches theft before you notice ④ Phone picked up while locked → photo before any PIN is entered ⑤ Phone moved from its place → hardware motion sensor captures physical movement ⑥ Charger disconnected → photo when unplugged from outlet or power bank ⑦ Successful unlock → who opened your phone and exactly when ⑧ Charger connected → silent photo on connection ⑨ Headset disconnected or connected → silent photo ⑩ Wrong PIN inside Pocket Guardian → who is trying to open the app ⑪ Successful Pocket Guardian login → full audit trail of security app access PHOTO QUALITY — THREE MODES Eco — smallest file size. Perfect for slow or expensive mobile data and limited storage. Standard — balanced quality and size. Face clearly visible, instant Drive sync. High — maximum detail and sharpness. Clear evidence when it really matters.

Two selfies, exact timestamps. "Phone disappeared from hotel nightstand." — SIM removal photo caught the thief's face. "Charger unplugged at the airport." — Instant photo on disconnect. "Kid grabbed my phone while I slept." — Successful unlock. Photo and time recorded. "Colleague browsed my phone uninvited." — Motion sensor + screen wake. Both events logged.

PREMIUM — ONE TIME, YOURS FOREVER ✓ Theft alarm — full volume ringtone on any event. Stops only when you open the app ✓ Active schedule — monitoring only during selected hours and days of the week ✓ Google Drive backup — photos and log sync after every event.
