Android (stock at least, but likely other flavours too) allows you to have multiple users on a device. Swipe down from the top a couple of times, then press the little blue User icon and set up a different user with a pass code for things you want to remain private. You could happily unlock your phone for the default user without giving up any private data.

It's not a method of securing anything as it's just obscurity, but very few people would know about it or bother to look. It's very useful for having 'work stuff' and 'personal stuff' on one device.
