PrivacyFlip

Automatic lock/unlock privacy control for Android devices 🔐📱✨

PrivacyFlip automatically manages your Android device's privacy features based on lock/unlock state. When you lock your device, it can disable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile data, location services, NFC, and even camera/microphone sensors. When you unlock, it intelligently restores the features you want back on.

Works with Shizuku or Root - Choose your preferred privilege method!

🔒 Features

Automatic Privacy Control

  • Lock Detection: Instantly disables privacy features when screen locks

Advanced Features

  • Smart Disable Options:

    • "Only if unused/not connected" - Don't disable WiFi, Bluetooth, or Location if actively in use
    • "Only if not already enabled" - Prevent connection resets by not re-enabling features that are already on
    • "Only if not manually set" - Respect manually enabled protection modes on unlock

  • App Exemptions - Exclude specific apps from privacy actions when in foreground

  • Samsung NFC Auto-Retry - Opt-in feature to combat Samsung payment framework NFC override (for Galaxy S, Note, Z series)

  • Accessibility Service - Experimental support for side/power button instant-lock (opt-in, requires Accessibility permission)

  • Advanced Detection - Multi-tier Bluetooth connection detection prevents unwanted headphone disconnects

Customizable Timing

  • Lock Delay: 0-60 seconds (granular), 2 minutes, or 5 minutes before privacy actions trigger
  • Unlock Delay: 0-60 seconds (granular), 2 minutes, or 5 minutes before features are restored
  • Instant Mode: Set delays to 0 for immediate action
  • Note: Camera and microphone ignore custom delays and trigger immediately, due to Android limitations

📱 Requirements

Minimum: Android 7.0+ (API level 24) Camera/Microphone Features: Android 12+ (API level 31)

Choose your privilege method:

Option 1: Shizuku (No root required!)

  • Shizuku app installed and running
  • ADB privileges via USB debugging or wireless ADB
  • No root required - works with ADB-level permissions

Option 2: Root Access (Recommended for rooted devices)

  • Root access via Magisk, SuperSU, or similar
  • Best performance with UID 0 privileges

Option 3: Dhizuku (Device Owner method)

  • Device Owner or Profile Owner status
  • No root required, no ADB needed after initial setup
  • Persistent privileges - survives reboots
  • Best for: Enterprise devices, work profiles, privacy-focused setups

Option 4: Sui (Best of both worlds)

  • Rooted device with Magisk installed
  • Sui Magisk module installed
  • Best user experience - no permission prompts, automatic startup

Privilege Detection Priority

  1. Sui - Magisk module providing Shizuku API with root (best UX)
  2. Root - Traditional root access via Magisk/SuperSU
  3. Dhizuku - Device Owner method (no root or ADB needed after setup)
  4. Shizuku - ADB privileges via Shizuku app
