App lock

owl123 — Mon, 06 Dec 2021 10:06:06 GMT

I saw few people asking for app lock almost every week. It is already present in Galaxy store and it's called secure folder(made by Samsung). I guess not many of them are aware of it.

This is what the app looks like.

And when an app is locked, it looks like this.

It is working fine in my M31.

Here's the link

It is working fine in my F41 as well, but not in A52S and S20FE etc. Not on flagships too.

It doesn't work with new phones which launched in 2021. And flagship phones

Re: Re: App lock

Chanakya_Reddy — Mon, 06 Dec 2021 13:29:21 GMT

Yeah. But it works with devices with secure folder too. Example: Galaxy J6.
I think flagships wont support it

Ok..may be it's the new policy of Samsung.
