Applock and Automatic Lockdown

[_norms]

I wish Samsung had included Applock and the ability to schedule Auto Lockdown 🔐 say by time. I would have loved it to set my phone to Lockdown (temporarily disable biometric unlocking) say on a period of my choosing. I would set my phone to Auto Lockdown from 6pm to 6am while l sleep. To avoid intruders from using my fingerprint to unlock my phone while l sleep. The Scheduling of the Auto part is to help if the event that l forget to manually disable the biometrics.
