Specific "intruder selfie" app needed

[Bankoletti]

Hi all,

I've recently purchased OnePlus6 (which is an amazing device!)

My question is:

Is there an "intruder photo app", which would:
1. take appropriate measures (=take a stealth selfie etc.) whenever the dot-pattern unlocking is passed successfully,
and
2. would not activate each time facial recongition or fingerprint is successfully used for unlocking?

Explanation (if anyone wonders why I need this):

Due to the nature of my work (dance studio - where I use the phone constantly), I'm physically around a lot of people most of the times. And while facial recognition and fingerprint sensor work very good most of the times, I have to use the dot pattern to unlock here and there anyways due to bad lighting or some other reason. I know it's very easy to see and memorize these (I know them for most of my colleagues with absolutely no bad intentions).

My issue is that I'm leaving my phone around people all of the time, and I don't trust all of them completely. Assuming many of them know my dot pattern by heart, they can easily unlock my phone without unsuccessful attempts.

I know I'll get a false alarm each time I use the dot pattern myself, but I'm fine with this.

All apps I have checked, activate only when pattern is entered unsuccessfully. Thnx for any input!

Hmmm. Maybe someone knows of a specif app that takes a selfie with a successful pin entry, but most of the security apps are set to only snap the photo with failed attempts. It might be something you could setup with an app like tasker, but that can get involved and it a few grades above my pay scale.

I don't count myself an expert, but I managed to write a quick Tasker profile that took a selfie whenever the screen was unlocked.

Trigger: event > display > screen unlocked
Action: media > take photo (and edit to use front camera, remember to set a naming sequence so it adds numbers to the filename or else it will overwrite the last file each time).

However, it's not exactly what you were after. For one thing on my phone it was slow and you see the camera was on, so it would be easy to point away from the face. For another there was no hook I could see for how it was unlocked, just the event of unlocking.

My guess is that anti-theft apps are triggered by the unlock failing, which may be a different event from unlocking (I've never dug that deep into android to find out), so I'm not surprised if they don't have the option - even less that they wouldn't distinguish how the unlocking was done.
