Your LG G3 might be a temptation for those around you, but we are sure that the idea of handing over your phone is far from tempting. Don’t worry, if you are forced not to refuse such a request, then be sure that LG has thought of a solution for you. As you have already seen from the title, we are talking about its special Guest Mode which lets someone else use your phone without getting full access to your photos, videos, files and other private data. So, what do you say? Do you want to set up this Guest Mode on your LG G3?

The feature offers you the chance to set a specific unlock pattern and even to select what applications are going to be available in this mode.
