App Lock Feature

[Mikesam]

I would like to suggest the development of an App Lock feature within your service. Such a feature is essential as it enhances user security and privacy by enabling individuals to lock specific applications, thereby safeguarding sensitive information such as financial details, messages, and personal data. Implementing this will not only strengthen user trust but also position your service as more competitive in the market.

Hello, you can already achieve this with secure folder built into the device, If you want to enable‌ this feature, head to: Settings > Security and Privacy > More Security Settings > Secure Folder; make sure you have enabled it.

Once you have set up a password and set up the secure folder, head into your app drawer > search secure folder > open the app > hit the + icon in the right > You can add the app you want to the secure folder or download another from the Galaxy store or Google Play store. 

The secure folder app will now hide your app; accessing that folder and the apps within it requires a password.

Indeed, while it may differ from what other phones provide, many users seem to favor an app lock feature over a separate space, or perhaps they would appreciate the inclusion of both options.
