One ui 8.5 - Applock feature

[darkwraith_]

How about a new samsung applock feature along with one ui 8.5 complete version? Wouldn't that be a great idea. Samsung having their own applock feature rather than depending on third-party apps can bring a good change in privacy of data while giving your phone on small talks like sharing of maps, showing certain messages, pictures and that kind of stuff. And this avoids the risk of installing unknown applockers and getting scamed.

May be not

Why not? Does this have any other side that i dont understand? Genuinely asking

Hello. Have you tried Samsung's Secure Folder? Any thoughts on that? Does it meet some of your needs?

That's good to keep private things in secure folder, but applock should be included by Samsung to avoid third party apps..

Yeah I have. Im using it still. But what I'm suggesting is that lock some apps that are outside secure folder. You get me? Like some apps that dont need to access data from secure folder but is also private.

Thank you for reaching out to Samsung Gulf Electronics with this great suggestion. A native App Lock is a highly requested feature to enhance privacy without needing a third-party app or the full complexity of Secure Folder.

Regarding your suggestion for One UI 8.5, here is the latest information:

• Native App Lock Leaks: Reports from the One UI 8.5 Beta indicate that Samsung is testing a native App Lock feature. This would allow you to lock individual apps using your fingerprint, PIN, or pattern directly.
• Privacy Protection: The upcoming update also includes a "Privacy Protection" feature that uses AI to automatically blur sensitive info (like card numbers) when sharing your screen.
• Release Information: The One UI 8.5 Beta is currently available for the Galaxy S25 series in select markets. While not yet officially confirmed for a global stable rollout, your feedback is crucial in showing the demand for this feature in the Gulf region.
• Share your feedback: We encourage you to submit this suggestion directly through the Samsung Members app (Support > Send Feedback > Suggestions). This helps our developers prioritize features for the final global release.

Feel free to reach us if you have any more ideas on how we can improve your Galaxy experience.
