Hi Team,

 

I am new to Samsung Family and I recently got my S21 Ultra and was looking for a built in AppLocker to secure payment Apps and Social Media apps with a simple PIN/Pattern/FingerPrint 

Suggestion->
This setting would be available under settings and navigate is as below

1) Settings -> Biometrics and Security -> App Locker ( To access this you need to enter PIN/Pattern/FingerPrint

2) Once you are in App Locker , you get to add Apps ( probably have a place holder like + Add Apps )

3) After adding the Apps you can exit , and if you try to access the apps you will need to enter the pin or pattern or fingerprint to gain access.


Use case : when you hand over your phone to someone to view a photo or use another application , that person shouldn't gain access to these Apps without a security.

Found something similar - Secure folder but its not serving the purpose as its like creating a secure copy of an existing application ( the navigation becomes quiet complex as you need to again register and login to the app which is secured here , it creates a duplicate copy and also 1 extra layer to access it)

I found similar requests on the Community by many users , I wish this features comes to ONE UI someday as it makes our lives easier.

It has lots of bugs and issue, it should be part of OneUI integration and shouldnt be a Application.
