Password protected folders

[rajaamerkhan]

There should be a way of locking folders like Secure Folder.

Any app inside that folder should require a password if opened from all apps area.

Not sure if it's feasible but would definitely help with securing apps while sharing phone with someone.

Hi @rajaamerkhan 

You can move whole folders to Secure Folder, so they can be protected.

Same with any app or file on your device.

So it already is possible

Actually secure folder is for work purpose and it has its own accounts. 

I use it for all work emails , apps etc..

Would be great if it was implemented outside.

Anyways, thanks.

Hi does this work if i put the text message icon into the secure folder? I am due to leave my phone in to get screen fixed and i dont want nosey people snooping etc. I cant seem to set up a password or code for opening the text message app so thought this may be the next best thing? Thoughts please

No, it won't work.

You could install third party app to password protect your private apps. 

Install AppLock from playstore.
