About Privacy Flip

Privacy Flip automatically manages your device's privacy features based on screen 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 Root OR Shizuku - Choose your preferred privilege method!

Features:

• Manage your device privacy based on lock/unlock state

• Dual privilege support: Root OR Shizuku (no root required!)

• Automatic privilege detection (Sui > Root > Dhizuku > Shizuku)

• Configurable feature control (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Mobile Data, Location, NFC, Camera, Microphone, Airplane Mode, Battery Saver)

• Customizable timing delays (0-60 seconds granular, 2 minutes, or 5 minutes)

• Smart "only if unused/not connected" modes for WiFi, Bluetooth, Location, and Mobile Data while media plays

• App exemption system (skip privacy for specific foreground apps)

• Detects NFC being turned back on by a payment or wallet app, with opt-in auto-retry

• Optional Accessibility Service as an extra lock and unlock signal

• Advanced multi-tier Bluetooth connection detection

• Background service for persistent monitoring

• Quick Settings tile integration

Privacy Features Controlled:

• Wi-Fi - Disable/enable wireless connectivity

• Bluetooth - Control Bluetooth radio

• Mobile data - Manage cellular data connection

• Location services - Control GPS and location tracking

• NFC - Control NFC sensor

• Camera - Disable/enable camera sensor privacy (Android 12+)

• Microphone - Disable/enable microphone sensor privacy (Android 12+)

• Airplane Mode - Enable on lock (opt-in, disables all radios at once)

• Battery Saver - Enable on lock (opt-in, reduces background activity)

What's new in 2.3.0

- New opt-in "Keep off while locked": if something the lock switched is changed back before you unlock, for example from Quick Settings, the lock actions run again - Shizuku and Sui on Android 15+: NFC turns off and on again on phones that refuse the NFC service's own command - "Side Button Support" is now "Lock Screen Detection", and no longer promises camera and microphone with an instant power-button lock - The debug log no longer says "Commands attempted: null"
