Even though there is a "App Lock" tool installed in M30s but there is no option /link available in "Advanced settings" in order to lock specific apps. 

Therefore, one can download another app by the name S Secure which has been developed by Samsung company and is available for download at the below link :


The steps are explained in the video (in Hindi) at the below link :

Info - The above S Secure app download link is also listed in the YouTube video description section 

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Adi

Hey AdiVV here's a solition for you:
you can see that app lock application is installed but yoi cant use it. I dont know why samsung disabled this feature but you can enable it....
1. Install Quick shortcut maker app from Play store.
2.Then open it and find app lock
3.Under that you will se many options choose third last option.
4. Then click on Try .
5.then you will se app lock screen
just set your password and choose apps to lock . Then go back to app and press create shortcut.
then you can use it any time.
6. Now after creating shortcut you can actually uninstall the external app. 😜
7. And you are ready to go.
NOTE: this is Samsung official app lock 🔐 😎
THANK ME LATER 😃

This is a cool find 👍🏻.

+ I was able to use this to launch the hidden 'App Lock' settings.

- The app is not compatible with my android version so i cannot create an icon for the hidden app lock.


- Readers should that most of the apps that you usually want privacy for already provide app lock feature these days.
+ Few built in apps like sms, settings don't have it. This would be useful there.
- But once the app is unlocked you need to turn off screen and turn on again to lock it again. Closing the locked app won't lock it.

- Also there's the pin app feature in samsung which might also be enough privacy when handing someone your phone.
