App lock in S20 FE

[Nirmalya001]

How to enable in built app lock in s20 FE 5G?

1. S-SECURE not supported anymore.

2. "Lock and mask apps" not available.

3. 'Activity launcher' does not show any app lock listed.

4. SECURE FOLDER (Knox) does not meet the simple requirement of locking the launch of general apps. It is a seperate vault altogether.

Third party app locks are not trustable and can easily be bypassed.

What to do? It is so frustrating!

ETC POPPULAR ANTIVIRUS !

No, I already know of those. I don't wanna bloat my phone up. Battery backup gets a hit.

Samsung must provide an in-built app lock in their premium phones instead of blocking the already existing options.

Although I agree that they should provide an app lock, I don't think that FE is a premium device.

The same frustrating scenario exists for their highest end phones like s20 series, s21 series.

The argument here is not if it's a premium phone or not..but that samsung should provide an inbuilt lock and mask app

No in built app lock or s secure support yet... So sad.

So I know this is an old thread, but I found it in searches and thought I'll post this for others who may still be looking...

First you need to turn on App locking:
- go to: Settings -> Biometrics and Security -> (scroll down to) Other security sttings -> set on "Pin Windows"

Secondly to pin an app (If that is what is meant, so "close all" etc won't kill the app):
- app open you want to pin
- swipe up and hold to get the app overview/switching view and get the app in view if it isn't
- next tap the app's icon at the top of the app preview and you will get a menu and you'll find the option to pin! (don't ask me why they didn't just use a 3 dot menu!? Terrible UI design!!)
