Locked Folder App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — 锁定相簿, 私密相册 & Face ID / Touch ID zh-Hans Copy
Your iOS or iPadOS app markets Photos Locked Folder on the product page — lock private photos and videos behind Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode, under Photos → Locked Folder, with gallery frames showing move to Locked Folder, unlock to view, and keeping sensitive media private on device.
Open the same app on the China storefront and buyers still land on an English product page.
Title, subtitle, description, and screenshot overlays that read "Locked Folder", "Lock album", "Private photos", or "Face ID unlock" in Latin script.
Shipping biometric photo-vault UX in the binary does not auto-fill a Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) localization row.
AppLocale writes paste-ready zh-Hans listing copy for those Connect fields — aligned with how your Locked Folder gallery frames actually look, not Hidden album hide flows or general photo-library hub marketing.

Western indie iOS and iPadOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:
Ship or market a private photo or video vault app — secure gallery, lock album, or Photos-style privacy tool whose buyers use Locked Folder to keep sensitive media behind biometric or passcode unlock
Market Locked Folder, lock album, private photos, private videos, Face ID unlock, Touch ID unlock, move to Locked Folder, or unlock to view on the en-US product page and in screenshot galleries under Photos → Locked Folder framing
Finished Locked Folder–aware UX or on-device photo privacy flows in the binary — not looking for LocalAuthentication plumbing, PhotoKit asset protection engineering, or Hidden album implementation help here
Enabled the China storefront but the zh-Hans product page still shows English copy or untranslated Locked Folder badge lines on screenshots
Need paste-ready zh-Hans listing fields — not an engineer for biometric APIs, not a designer to re-render vault screenshot PNGs, not Hidden album or iCloud Photos marketing copy
Locked Folder setup vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs
Teams assume Photos privacy capability on device covers storefront language. Biometric unlock, PhotoKit, and Connect actually separate in-app vault behavior from product-page copy:
Locked Folder enrollment — moving photos and videos into Locked Folder under Photos, setting up biometric or passcode unlock. Controls who can view sensitive media on the device — not App Store language. AppLocale does not perform this.
LocalAuthentication & passcode gates — Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode prompts before revealing locked items. Listing copy may mention unlock flows; implementing LAContext or secure enclave checks is engineering work, not Connect metadata.
Move to Locked Folder & unlock to view — user-facing actions that hide sensitive media from the main library until authenticated. Product-page copy should describe that workflow; building asset protection APIs is in-app engineering.
On-device privacy only — Locked Folder keeps media private on the device; listing copy should not over-claim cloud backup or cross-device sync your app does not implement unless your English listing states it.
Hidden album (different surface) — hide photos from the library without passcode-protected Locked Folder vault semantics. Related buyer vocabulary (隐藏相册) but not the same product story — do not paste Hidden album copy onto Locked Folder hero frames.
Recently Deleted (different) — trash recovery window in Photos, not a biometric vault. Mention only as contrast if your English listing compares recovery paths.
Pricing and Availability → China — makes the app downloadable on the China App Store. Separate from language rows.
App Store tab → Chinese (Simplified) localization — independent row for title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, screenshots, and caption lines. Empty or English here means China buyers see English fallback regardless of Locked Folder support in the binary.
Working Locked Folder integration and a localized China listing are both required when you sell on the China storefront — neither replaces the other. AppLocale covers how you describe Locked Folder, lock album, and 面容 ID 解锁 value on the product page in zh-Hans, not how you wire biometric unlock in code.
Locked Folder listing copy vs Hidden album vs photo library hub vs Clean Up
Photos-themed apps blur several shop guides indie teams conflate. AppLocale covers listing metadata only — Locked Folder passcode-protected vault marketing on the product page:
Locked Folder & lock album (this page) — Photos → Locked Folder: lock private photos and videos behind Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode, move items into Locked Folder, unlock to view, and gallery frames with 锁定相簿, 锁定文件夹, 私密相册, 隐私相册, 面容 ID 解锁, and 触控 ID vocabulary.
Hidden album (different) — hide photos from the library without Locked Folder passcode vault semantics; 隐藏相册 is related search vocabulary but a separate surface. Do not make Hidden album the hero when your English gallery centers Locked Folder.
Apple Photos photo library hub (different) — albums, Memories, Featured Photos, Shared Albums, iCloud Photos browsing. Covered on our Apple Photos & photo library guide — library organization, not passcode-protected vault. If your hero is For You Memory movies and recap videos — not album grids — see Memories listing (zh-Hans).
Clean Up object removal (different) — tap-to-erase photobombers and clutter. Covered on our Clean Up guide — object removal, not lock album privacy.
Photos picker import (different) — Choose Photos and limited library access. Covered on our Photos picker guide — import sheets, not Locked Folder unlock demos.
Notes locked text (different) — locked memos and text vaults with 锁定笔记 vocabulary. Covered on our Notes guide — text notes, not photo and video privacy.
Your screenshots may show Locked Folder beside a general album grid or a Hidden album toggle. Listing copy should name the correct surface per frame — a Face ID unlock on Locked Folder is not a Memories carousel, not a Clean Up erase demo, and not an iCloud Photos sync badge unless that is what the frame shows.
What China buyers see when zh-Hans Locked Folder copy is missing
Privacy-conscious photo-app purchasers browsing the China App Store evaluate vault trust in the first scroll. Common failure modes when only en-US is filled:
English title and subtitle — app name and tagline still Latin script while competitors show native Chinese Locked Folder or 私密相册 positioning
Untranslated lock badges on screenshots — overlay lines like "Locked Folder", "Lock album", "Private photos", "Face ID unlock", or "Move to Locked Folder" remain English on zh-Hans gallery frames
Privacy value in English — description opens with US vault marketing ("Keep sensitive photos private with Face ID") that China readers skim past or misread
Keyword field still en-US — buyers search 锁定相簿, 私密相册, 隐私相册, or 面容 ID 解锁; an English-only keyword row misses China Search intent
Mixed page — Chinese description pasted once but screenshot captions and subtitle still English — reads unfinished next to localized competitors
Calling Locked Folder "Hidden album" — machine translation that uses 隐藏相册 for passcode-protected vault frames when your gallery shows Face ID unlock UI, not hide-from-library toggles — confusing buyers who expect biometric lock copy
Calling Locked Folder general "photo library" — 图库 or 相册 fits album-browsing marketing; Locked Folder hero frames need 锁定相簿 or 私密相册 vocabulary instead
Better zh-Hans listing copy helps privacy-aware buyers understand Locked Folder value before install. It does not replace LocalAuthentication code, PhotoKit integration, or Apple's review decisions.
Locked Folder–specific listing copy — what translates differently
Locked Folder listings use vocabulary general photo-library guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese App Store readers describe passcode-protected photo vaults — not a literal paste of US privacy marketing:
Locked Folder & 锁定相簿 / 锁定文件夹
US pages use "Locked Folder" or "Lock album." China storefront copy often uses 锁定相簿 or 锁定文件夹 alongside the product name Locked Folder where appropriate on screenshot overlays — especially on vault enrollment and unlock frames under Photos.
Private photos & 私密相册 / 隐私相册
The core Locked Folder value prop — keeping sensitive photos and videos private on device — appears frequently on privacy-app screenshots. Chinese buyers expect 私密相册 or 隐私相册 for private-media vault frames — not English badges that hide what the app actually markets to privacy-conscious users.
Face ID & Touch ID unlock & 面容 ID 解锁 / 触控 ID
Biometric unlock frames where users authenticate before viewing locked items use unlock vocabulary. zh-Hans copy should describe that path with 面容 ID 解锁 or 触控 ID when that matches your English source — without inventing security claims your listing does not support.
Move to Locked Folder & unlock to view
Action-oriented screenshots — move items into the vault, tap to unlock, view protected media — need verb phrases Chinese readers recognize. Frames should pair 移入锁定相簿 or 解锁查看 style copy with the UI your gallery actually shows.
隐藏照片 — related search term, not the hero
Buyers search 隐藏照片 when exploring photo privacy, but that term aligns with Hidden album hide-from-library flows — a related contrast surface, not Locked Folder passcode vault marketing. Use 隐藏照片 in keywords only when your English listing and frames justify the overlap; prefer 锁定相簿 as primary hero vocabulary.
Subtitle and keyword packing
The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need Locked Folder–relevant search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 锁定相簿, 私密相册, and 面容 ID 解锁 each signal different intent from general 图库 or Memories keywords.
Before / after — Locked Folder listing phrases (en-US → zh-Hans)
Concrete examples AppLocale rewrites from your English source — not Hidden album or general photo-library hub copy:
Screenshot caption — Before: Unlock to view → After: 解锁查看
Screenshot caption — Before: Touch ID unlock → After: 触控 ID 解锁
Keyword field — Before: Locked Folder,private photos,Face ID,vault,lock album → After: 锁定相簿,私密相册,隐私相册,面容ID,锁定文件夹
Final phrasing depends on your English claims, Locked Folder surfaces on gallery frames, and Connect character caps. See Screenshot captions in Simplified Chinese for overlay mechanics.
Common mistakes on Locked Folder zh-Hans listings
Assuming Locked Folder integration localizes automatically — biometric vault UX ships in the app; zh-Hans row never added or left blank
Only translating the description — subtitle, keywords, and Locked Folder screenshot caption lines still English
Conflating Locked Folder with Hidden album — 隐藏相册 fits hide-from-library flows; 锁定相簿 fits passcode-protected vault frames
Conflating Locked Folder with photo library hub — 图库 and 回忆 fit album and Memories marketing; lock-album frames need 私密相册 vocabulary
Conflating Locked Folder with Clean Up — 清理照片 fits object removal; vault privacy needs 锁定相簿 copy
English Face ID badges on zh-Hans screenshots — Connect caption fields are Chinese but burned-in badges on PNG exports are still Latin
Claiming iCloud sync in listing copy — product-page copy should describe on-device Locked Folder benefits your English listing actually claims; do not invent cloud vault sync
Expecting AppLocale to implement biometric unlock or PhotoKit protection — LocalAuthentication wiring and asset protection are outside listing rewrite
Connect checklist before you order Locked Folder listing copy
Confirm China under Pricing and Availability — storefront enabled if you intend to sell there
Confirm which Locked Folder surfaces your app markets — move to vault, Face ID unlock, Touch ID unlock, passcode fallback, unlock to view — listing copy must match your gallery frames
Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — note whether the zh-Hans row exists and which text fields are empty vs English placeholder
Export current English Locked Folder marketing copy — current en-US title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, and every screenshot overlay line ("Locked Folder", "Lock album", "Private photos", "Face ID unlock", "Move to Locked Folder")
List screenshot frames that show Locked Folder UI — note which gallery images show vault enrollment, biometric unlock prompts, or locked-item viewers so caption lines match frame order
Separate listing from in-app vault strings — listing rewrite does not cover unlock error messages or folder labels rendered inside the app after install
Plan caption re-export if text is burned into PNGs — Connect caption fields help when overlays are editable; English baked into image files needs design rework outside AppLocale
For one Locked Folder–themed app on the zh-Hans row, paste-ready Simplified Chinese copy for the listing fields you specify:
Title (name) — zh-Hans app name within Connect character limits
Subtitle — Locked Folder or private-photo vault positioning within the ~30-character cap
Keywords — comma-separated zh-Hans search terms with rationale notes (锁定相簿, 私密相册, 面容 ID 解锁 as appropriate)
Description — buyer-readable body copy aligned with your English Locked Folder listing meaning
Promotional text — when you include the 170-character promo field in scope
Screenshot overlay / caption lines — zh-Hans replacements for "Locked Folder", "Lock album", "Private photos", "Face ID unlock", "Move to Locked Folder", and unlock-to-view frame text
English alignment — matching en-US field notes when both storefronts must stay consistent on Locked Folder feature promises
24-hour turnaround — delivered to the email on your Stripe receipt after checkout and intake
Human rewrite from your current English Locked Folder listing — not a machine translation dump. Default $79 scope is Connect listing metadata; bundle additional caption lines via the AppLocale product page if needed.
What AppLocale does not do
Does not implement LocalAuthentication, PhotoKit Locked Folder APIs, or biometric unlock in code
Does not configure Locked Folder enrollment or passcode policies on buyer devices
Does not write Hidden album or Recently Deleted listing copy as the hero — those are contrast surfaces, not Locked Folder vault marketing
Does not write Clean Up, Memories, Featured Photos, Shared Album, iCloud Photos, or Journal listing copy — see separate shop guides
Does not write Screen Time Content & Privacy or Communication Safety listing copy
Does not write Apple Pay, Wallet hub, Express Transit, Apple Card, Tap to Pay, Apple Cash, Dual SIM, iCloud Backup, Display Zoom, or Notification Summary listing copy
Does not design, compose, or re-export screenshot PNG/JPEG assets — caption line sheets only
Does not localize in-app UI strings, storyboards, or the app binary
Does not guarantee App Store rankings or download growth in China
Does not operate review-reply retainers or respond to App Store reviews on your behalf
Does not click Save or Submit in App Store Connect for you
Is not QuantRadar, not paid ads management, and not investment or legal advice
Does not invent reviews, ratings, or traffic numbers
How it works
Confirm scope — Locked Folder–themed app with en-US listing done; identify which zh-Hans fields and screenshot caption lines are still English
Send intake — reply from the email on your Stripe receipt with your App Store listing URL, English Locked Folder listing copy (all fields and caption lines), which vault surfaces your gallery shows, screenshot frame count, and target locale (zh-Hans)
Receive files — within 24 hours, paste-ready zh-Hans listing fields arrive at your Stripe receipt email
Paste and submit — fill the zh-Hans row in Connect, enter caption lines per screenshot slot, save, and submit the version for review. Success page: AppLocale thanks.
Does enabling Locked Folder auto-fill my China App Store listing?
No. Locked Folder enrollment, biometric unlock, and on-device photo privacy control runtime vault behavior — they do not create or fill a Simplified Chinese localization row. If zh-Hans name, subtitle, keywords, description, or screenshot caption fields are empty or still English, the China storefront falls back to en-US copy.
Which App Store Connect fields does AppLocale rewrite?
Paste-ready Simplified Chinese for listing fields you specify: app name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text when included, and screenshot overlay or caption lines such as Locked Folder, lock album, private photos, Face ID unlock, 锁定相簿, 私密相册, and 面容 ID 解锁 — rewritten from your English originals.
Does AppLocale implement biometric unlock or PhotoKit protection?
No. AppLocale rewrites App Store Connect listing metadata and screenshot caption text only. LocalAuthentication integration, Locked Folder APIs, and in-app vault engineering are outside AppLocale scope.
How is this different from Hidden album and photo library hub pages?
Locked Folder listing copy covers Photos → Locked Folder — lock private photos and videos behind Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode on gallery frames. Apple Photos photo-library listing copy covers albums, Memories, and iCloud Photos browsing. Hidden album is a related hide-from-library surface — not the same hero as passcode-protected Locked Folder. Photos picker listing copy covers Choose Photos import. Each surface has a separate guide.
Why do my Locked Folder screenshot captions still say Lock album in English on China?
Screenshot overlay lines and caption fields are per localization in App Store Connect. If you never filled zh-Hans caption fields — or pasted English into the Chinese screenshot set — China buyers see Latin script on frames meant to signal 锁定相簿, 私密相册, or 面容 ID 解锁 value.
Should zh-Hans copy use 锁定相簿 or 隐藏照片?
锁定相簿 and 私密相册 fit Locked Folder and lock-album marketing. 隐藏照片 fits Hidden album contrast vocabulary — related search terms but not the primary hero unless your English listing centers hide-from-library flows. AppLocale picks phrasing that matches your English claims and screenshot frames.
What do I send after AppLocale payment?
Your live App Store listing URL, current English (or partial zh-Hans) name, subtitle, keywords, description, screenshot overlay lines with frame order noted, which frames show Locked Folder vault or biometric unlock UI, and target locale (zh-Hans). Reply from the email address on your Stripe receipt — we deliver to that Stripe email within 24 hours.
Will zh-Hans Locked Folder copy improve China rankings?
We do not guarantee ranking, browse placement, or download lift. Complete zh-Hans metadata helps users who already find your page understand Locked Folder privacy value in their language — it is not a placement hack.
