Hi Samsung Team,

I’m writing this post as a humble request to please add an "App Lock" feature in your One UI system.

Currently, only the Lock Screen Security is available, but there is no option to lock individual apps with a separate password or biometric setting.

Yes, I understand there is the Secure Folder, but:

  • It works more like a Second Space or a separate phone environment.
  • It's not practical for quickly locking/unlocking individual apps like WhatsApp, Gallery, or Banking apps.
  • The use case is completely different.

We need:

  • A dedicated App Lock feature
  • With an option to set a separate password or fingerprint for app security.
  • Not tied to the same password used for the lock screen.

Other brands have had this feature for years, and it's very useful for maintaining privacy and app-level security.

So, this is a sincere request to Samsung Developers: Please add this feature ASAP in the upcoming updates!

Samsung users, if you agree and find this feature helpful: Please support by hitting the Like button 👍
Follow for more updates and feature requests!

Let's make Samsung even better together!
