GalleryVault review
A feature-rich mobile vault with strong privacy controls and flexible subscription options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
GalleryVault is a mobile privacy app for hiding and encrypting photos, videos, documents, audio, and other files. It is designed for iOS and Android users who want a private vault with more than basic file hiding. Alongside vault access controls, it offers app-icon hiding, fake passcodes with alternate content, folder locking, biometric unlocking, and tools for importing or capturing photos and videos. Android users also get SD-card support.
The pricing structure combines a free plan, a 7-day free trial, subscriptions, and one-time payments. Monthly and yearly subscriptions include premium features, 100GB of cloud storage space, and no ads. Separate one-time payment options cover one month, six months, or one year and include premium features. The published starting price is 9.9 Chinese yuan. GalleryVault supports both major mobile platforms, but cloud storage or synchronization depends on the platform and plan, so buyers should match the cloud offering to their device and preferred payment model.
Its strongest distinction is the breadth of privacy controls in one mobile app. A hidden icon, decoy content through a fake passcode, break-in alerts with intruder photo capture, private browsing with media downloading, and a private camera address different ways users may want to keep content out of view. That makes GalleryVault a suitable pick for users seeking a feature-rich mobile vault across iOS or Android. It is less suitable for anyone who needs identical cloud behavior across platforms or expects Android local files to be stored anywhere other than on-device.
