Regarding "app lock" for apps other than in Secure Folder, galaxy F15 5g

I'm new to the Samsung brand smartphone, so anyone please give me the solution (safe and secure way) for setting up the lock 🔐 for normal apps other than using Secure Folder.

I appreciate if there are any answers which really works!

FYI:

*My Mobile Software Info:

- Android 14

- Security Patch Level: Feb 2024

Thanks.

S Secure doesn't exist anymore. It was replaced by that rubbish Secure Folder.

Please use secure folder 📂. If you like please accept as a solution it's help to others users also, click 3dots in my reply section and click on accept solution. Thanks.

But Secure folder supports only few apps which are second instances of original apps naa? Correct me if I'm wrong!

For example, I want to lock "Phone" 📞 (system app), then how can I do it?

Please come up with any possible solution!
Thanks.

I'm unable to add apps like "Phone" in Secure Folder 📂 , any solution please?

U can download the S secure app from Apkmirror
But it may not work as
I tried in my F23 5G but it didn't
So, u can't use AppLock officially
Yet, u can download the trusted applock apps from playstore or galaxy store as u prefer
Suggestion: Don't use AppLock as it is not official...
If u got the solution...please tap on the 3dot and accept this as a solution...
Thanks.

First of all thanks for your response,

As I'm using samsung for the first time - I'm not aware of "trusted applock apps",
so it will be very helpful and easy if you tell me what are those apps in more detail!

And one more thing is, I heard that - we can use this "app lock" feature by using 'Activity Launcher' app from Play store, or
- Using 'Shortcut Maker ' app.

But i don't know whether these methods are safe & secure!

Right now I'm stuck!
so I'm seeking for any help which can solve this issue,

And your help can be really useful for many like me.
I'm waiting for your response!
Thanks for your time!
