The privacy lock
Lock shop names and notes so only your family's phones can read them.
With the privacy lock on, shop names, notes and other details you type are locked on your phone before they are saved. Only phones in your family that have the household's key can read them. Bosla staff cannot.
Turn it on
- 1Open Settings → Privacy.
- 2Turn on the privacy lock and save your recovery code somewhere safe, such as a password manager.
- 3On another phone in the family, enter the code once to unlock it there.
Keep your code safe
If you lose every phone and the code, locked details cannot be recovered. Amounts and dates still work, so your numbers stay right.
