Lock Individual Apps

[Corby]

How to lock individual apps in one UI 5.1? There was S Secure before but it is no more compatible. 

Pls tell me a way to lock apps without creating a secure folder (creation of secure folder takes a lot of storage)

I can't find any native method. You need to use external apps maybe

This is the way; you just need to Download this app once and after its done you can uninstall it. It just lets the end user access hidden oneUI settings.
These are the steps:

Step 1: Download this app from playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher

Step 2: Press OK on the disclaimer. Don't worry you won't have any problem.

Step 3: Find App lock. Tap on it

Step 4: Click on the 6th bottom setting. (Check in the image I've attached)

Step 5: You'll get that window I've shared. Turn that on

Last step: Add the apps you want to lock and mask. Add your password/biometrics etc


You are done!!!

You can uninstall the app if you want. Whenever you want to remove any app from the lock list, you can download the app and repeat the steps.


Feel free to reach out to me if you face any problem.

I don't recommend apps cuz they always take lots of permissions in phone and may steal data also.

Exactly. This is why I am looking for an inbuilt way to lock apps. Samsung should provide it.
