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!

• 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)

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"
