🚨 Urgent Request: Add Fingerprint Lock for Apps + Authentication Before Power Off & Uninstall
 
 Post:
 Hi Samsung Team,
 
 I’m a Galaxy S25 user and I’ve found some serious security gaps that need urgent attention:
 
 
 ---
 
 1. Fingerprint/PIN Before Power Off or Restart
 
 Currently, anyone can long‑press the power button to turn off the phone without any authentication.
 
 This makes it very easy for thieves to disable Find My Mobile tracking.
 
 Request: Add an option to require fingerprint, PIN, or password before allowing power off/restart. (Apple already has this — Samsung should too!)
 
 
 
 ---
 
 2. App Lock for Every App (Native Feature)
 
 Many Android skins offer built‑in app lock for individual apps.
 
 Samsung users still rely on Secure Folder or third‑party apps, which is inconvenient.
 
 Request: Introduce a native app lock option for every app with fingerprint/PIN support.
 
 
 
 ---
 
 3. Fingerprint/PIN Before Uninstalling Apps
 
 Important apps (banking, parental controls, work apps) can be uninstalled without any verification.
 
 Request: Add authentication before uninstalling any app to prevent unauthorized removal.
 
 
 
 ---
 
 These features would make Galaxy devices much more secure and user‑friendly.
 Are there any plans to include these in upcoming One UI updates?
 
 Thanks for listening to the community’s security concerns.
