SAN FRANCISCO, April 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Cheetah Mobile
Inc. (NYSE:CMCM, "Cheetah Mobile"), the world's largest mobile
tools developer, today announced that its top-rated security app CM
Locker now provides smartphone owners with additional privacy
protection. In addition to the existing pattern and password unlock
features, CM Locker now offers a fingerprint to unlock function for
Samsung's Galaxy S6 / Edge devices.
CM Locker specializes in helping smartphone owners enjoy simple,
safe, and quick actions from their lockscreens. Today's mobile
world has left people increasingly worried about securing private
information – such as photos, online banking passwords, cloud
storage, and social media – on their phones. Anticipating the needs
of smartphone users, Cheetah Mobile launched the CM Locker phone
lock application toward the end of 2014. Since launching on Google
Play, CM Locker has been downloaded over 5 million times with an
average user rating of 4.6 stars, making it the highest-rated
locker app on Google Play.
"CM Locker is the market's first unlocking app that works with
Samsung's Galaxy S6 / Edge fingerprint feature," said Cheetah
Mobile Vice President Liu Guifeng. "To go with CM Locker's existing
pattern and password unlock options, many of our users requested
fingerprint to unlock functionality. We quickly added support for
Samsung's new fingerprint to unlock feature in order to help the
user and enhance the Samsung flagship experience."
CM Locker's product development process has focused on offering
the ultimate collection of phone unlocking features in a single
application. In addition to a constantly improving user interface,
CM Locker also includes"Intruder Selfie" protection – when someone
tries several times to unlock the phone, it automatically takes
pictures from the front-facing camera, transfers the pictures to
the phone owner's mailbox, and alerts the user of a potential
theft.
With smartphones playing integral part of people's lives,
Cheetah Mobile's will continue to innovate on how to better protect
users' actions, data, and privacy.
