A fake screen lock is an imitation screen used for a prank or performance. It should not be relied on to protect your phone, hide private files or replace Android’s real PIN, pattern or password.
This page previously featured Magic Fake Screen Lock, associated with the package com.jianwen.screenlock. We could not verify an accessible current official Google Play listing during this update, so the old installation instructions are no longer presented as a working download guide. We have no verified reason for the listing’s unavailability.

Reader Recommendation
If your goal is phone protection, you do not need a fake-lock app. Use the built-in security settings. If you want an entertainment prop, review the separate product’s instructions and cost first. Do not buy it on the assumption that a similar name means it reproduces the old app or bypasses a real device lock.
What this type of app is for
The original article described a mock lock screen and a number-guessing entertainment routine. That is a magic-performance idea, not a phone-security feature. A screen that looks locked is not evidence that Android has actually locked the device.
If you arrived here to secure a phone, use the built-in screen-lock settings described below. If you want a performance prop, choose an entertainment app with clear instructions and practise on your own device.
A separate paid magic-performance option
Unlock & Predict any Passcode on Google Play, by Magic Pro Ideas Apps – Unlock App, is a different product. Its developer describes customizable imitation lock screens and guided magic routines. The listing requires a paid in-app purchase; installing the app is not a promise of a free performance kit.
This is a related alternative for readers interested in lock-screen magic, not the original Magic Fake Screen Lock and not a verified replacement for every part of its number trick. Check the current price, device compatibility and instructions before purchasing.
Despite the product’s name, do not treat a magic demonstration as evidence that an app can defeat Android or iPhone security. This guide does not provide a way to open someone else’s locked phone.
Use made-up numbers for a performance
- Practise on your own phone and learn how to exit the imitation screen before involving anyone else.
- Use a made-up number chosen for the trick. Do not ask anyone to enter their real phone PIN, banking PIN or account password.
- Do not publish a real passcode in a video, screenshot or social-media post.
- Explain that the screen is a performance prop. Stop if the other person is uncomfortable or needs their device back.
- Keep Android’s genuine device lock enabled after the demonstration.
We have not purchased or tested this alternative’s routines. Its store page is a source for the developer’s description, not independent evidence that every advertised performance works on every phone.
Set a real Android screen lock
For device protection, open Settings → Security → Screen lock, or search Settings for “Screen lock” if your manufacturer uses different menus. Choose a PIN, pattern or password and follow the phone’s instructions. You may need your existing code before changing it.
Google’s screen-lock help explains that None and Swipe do not provide protection. A mock keypad in an entertainment app is not a substitute for those system security settings.
Which download should you choose?
For the original app, there is no verified working official download recommendation in this guide. For a similar performance theme, review the separate paid app above. For actual phone security, start with the device’s built-in settings. Avoid choosing an unrelated app simply because its title also includes “screen lock.”
Before buying a performance app
Separate the visual effect you want from the software you need. A short video can hide setup, practice and steps performed by the presenter. Read the developer’s description for supported devices, purchase requirements and instructions. If the exact routine you want is unclear, ask the developer before paying.
Plan a demonstration around your own device and an invented number. Decide how you will exit the imitation screen and return to ordinary phone use. Keep real notifications and personal information out of any recording. A successful rehearsal on one phone does not establish compatibility with someone else’s phone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the old download link not work?
We could not verify a current accessible official listing. That alone does not establish whether the developer removed it, availability changed by region, or another issue affected access. There is no confirmed policy-removal explanation to report.
Is the alternative the same app?
No. It is a separate product from a different developer, with its own price and instructions. The connection is the lock-screen magic theme. Do not expect old screenshots or tutorials to describe the alternative’s current interface.
Can a fake lock protect private photos?
Do not rely on it for that purpose. A performance screen is not evidence of system-level protection. Keep the genuine phone lock enabled and use the privacy controls of the phone or photo app you actually use.
Should a participant use a real password?
No. Use a number invented only for the demonstration. Never collect a phone PIN, account password or banking credential for a trick, and do not publish genuine credentials as a supposed prediction.
Does uninstalling the app remove Android’s lock?
The entertainment app and the device’s system lock are separate. Remove the performance app through its own app settings. Afterward, confirm that your usual device lock still works; do not disable it as part of cleanup.
How to Uninstall a Fake Lock-Screen App
Exit the imitation screen, then open Settings → Apps and select the entertainment app you installed, such as Unlock & Predict any Passcode. Choose Uninstall. Keep Android’s genuine PIN, pattern or password enabled.
If the normal removal option is blocked, use your phone manufacturer’s support instructions. Do not turn off the real screen lock merely to remove a performance prop.
