Who touched my phone?
this app (also for iOS) is useful if you’re a little paranoid about who has access to your smartphone. Install the app and give the app access to your system and permission to take photos. Every time someone unlocks or tries to unlock your device with a wrong code, the app takes a photo and creates a report of what is being done with the device. Of course, installing this app comes with a risk, as it requires unrestricted access to parts of your system.
