- BT Guard changes BT automatically after the defined period of time elapses
- Bluetooth can be turned Off or set to Invisible Mode
- Application may ask for your permission, this setting is fully customizable (ask always, never, only when an active connection detected)

Who are the users of BT Guard?

BT Guard is used by the people who use their Bluetooth on mobile.

BT Guard is unbearable for:

- People working at office: you can hardly believe how many BT devices are there in and around your office, so be protected from any intrusion!
- Businessmen: in the business lounge somebody is searching with BT and may annoy you with connection requests.
- Users who exchange files using BT: after transfer completion you will not remember about your BT. BT Guard will do it for you!
- All Bluetooth Users

Even if you use Bluetooth not often, there is big probability that you forget to turn it off right after the file transfer. And here it goes: your mobile stays unprotected, visible for other Bluetooth devices. And your battery consumption is about two times higher.
