App Lock

[HOWDEN]

Hello there, my suggestion is to add Lock App, i think will be very helpful if we can lock all apps. Thanks.

Hello Howden, and welcome here

Please, do elaborate on that. what is the "lock app" is supposed to do? and what do you mean by locking apps?

My understanding is that there are three concepts of "locking" that is there at the moment;

1-apps that only launch after a code, normally this is specific to the app and should be supported by the app itself and activated in the specific app settings, example; apps of wallet, banking, Outlook, WhatsApp, etc

2-Apps that are installed in the secure folder ONLY can only be accessed in the secure folder which is protected by a passcode

3-the third type is not really a lock but rather a pin-up with passcode, where you pin particular opened app and no one can access anything but that app until you un-pin it with a passcode

Hello, I mean like on iOS for example... when you hold down on the app itself, you can choose how to lock it via fingerprint, facial recognition, or password. I hope i explain about this better.

ok that is to prevent accessing it except through passcode or biometrics. Good suggestion, currently this isn't supported like that. as i said earlier we have option 1 and 2. probably ui7 will implement that 😄
