Fake lock screen that catches snoopers

What the fake lock screen does

The fake lock screen is a decoy. On the surface it looks like an ordinary iPhone lock screen, so a curious roommate, partner or coworker assumes the phone is locked and starts poking at it. Behind that decoy, WTMP is watching: the moment someone tries to get past it, the app quietly captures an intruder selfie and logs the time and date, so you can see exactly who tried to snoop.

Because it runs inside the WTMP app — iOS does not let any third-party app replace Apple's real system lock screen — you open WTMP, arm the decoy, and set the phone down. It is a trap you choose to set, not a change to your actual iPhone passcode screen.

Why a decoy lock screen works

Most snooping happens because someone thinks they won't get caught. A convincing fake lock screen turns that instinct against them: it invites the attempt, then records it. Instead of wondering whether someone has been in your phone, you get proof — a timestamped photo of whoever tried.

How to set the trap

1. Open WTMP and turn on the fake lock screen.
2. Leave your iPhone where you would normally set it down — a desk, table or nightstand.
3. The decoy screen shows as if the phone is locked and idle.
4. If someone tries to get past it, WTMP captures an intruder selfie and logs the attempt.
5. Come back and review the log to see who tried to snoop.

Private by design

Like the rest of WTMP, the fake lock screen protects your own phone — it never reads your messages or spies on anyone else. Pair it with the intruder selfie and motion alarm to catch a snooper from every angle.
