Question 1

What are the 3 prerequisites needed to start a locked presentation?

Accepted Answer

To ensure zero accidental escapes, Presenter requires 3 standard Android security settings (done once in about 30 seconds): 1) Device Screen Lock Active: A secure PIN, pattern, password, or biometrics must be set up on your phone. 2) App Pinning Enabled: Android's native 'App Pinning' setting toggled ON in Security settings so Presenter can lock the screen. 3) 'Ask for PIN before unpinning' (Lock Device on Unpin) Enabled: This ensures that if someone attempts to unpin or exit the presentation without your permission, your phone immediately locks itself securely.

Question 2

Can someone see incoming text messages or OTP codes while looking at my phone?

Accepted Answer

No. During presentation mode, Presenter hides system status bars and suppresses heads-up notification popups. If someone tries to trigger an SMS OTP code, banking 2FA verification, or sends a personal WhatsApp message while another person is holding your phone, it will not pop up on screen—and the notification drawer is sealed against pull-downs.

Question 3

How do I stop people from swiping through other photos on my Android phone?

Accepted Answer

Select only the specific photos, videos, or PDFs you want to show—either inside Presenter or via 'Quick Present' in your gallery's Share menu—and tap Present. Presenter locks navigation gestures so the viewer can only swipe among the exact items you picked.

Question 4

How is Presenter better than built-in Android App Pinning?

Accepted Answer

Standard Android App Pinning locks an entire gallery application—leaving all your albums, camera roll, hidden folders, and search bar exposed to swiping. Presenter isolates strictly the 1, 3, or 10 items you approved for that single handover and suppresses incoming OTP/message banners.

Question 5

Does Presenter upload my photos or read my messages?

Accepted Answer

Never. All imported photos, videos, and documents stay 100% locally in your phone's private sandboxed storage. Furthermore, Presenter blocks visual notification popups using standard Android windowing APIs without ever reading, intercepting, or storing the text content of your SMS messages or notifications.

Question 6

What happens if I delete media or uninstall the app?

Accepted Answer

Because Presenter operates with 100% on-device storage and zero cloud backup, any files deleted by you, purged from the Recycle Bin after 7 days, purged upon Free Tier 7-day retention expiry, or erased when uninstalling the app are permanently deleted. You are solely responsible for keeping original copies in your primary gallery or cloud backup service (like Google Photos).

Question 7

What is included in Presenter Free vs. Presenter Pro?

Accepted Answer

Presenter Free ($0 forever) includes up to 3 images per collection, full biometric (fingerprint/face) and Master PIN unlock, OTP popup shielding, and optional rewarded ads to unlock bonus item slots. Presenter Pro ($1.99/month or $14.99/year — save 37%) removes all ads and unlocks unlimited collections, unlimited items, Video/Audio/PDF support, and local Security Incident Audit Logs.

Question 8

What happens if my phone restarts while in locked presentation mode?

Accepted Answer

Your phone reboots normally into your standard Android lock screen requiring your device passcode or biometrics. Presenter will never brick or permanently trap your device.
