Yes, Samsung smartphones typically come with a feature that allows you to lock individual apps with a password or fingerprint. This feature is known as "App Lock" and is a part of Samsung's Knox security suite, which provides additional security features for Samsung devices. With App Lock, you can set up a separate password, PIN, or fingerprint lock for specific apps on your Samsung device, such as messaging apps, social media apps, or any other app that you want to restrict access to.

To use the App Lock feature on a Samsung device, follow these steps:

Open the "Settings" app on your Samsung device.
Scroll down and select "Biometrics and security" or "Lock screen and security", depending on your device model and Android version.
Look for the "App Lock" or "Secure Folder" option and tap on it.
Follow the prompts to set up a password, PIN, or fingerprint for the App Lock feature.
Once set up, you can select specific apps from your app list and enable the lock for those apps by toggling the switch next to each app.
After setting up App Lock, the selected apps will require the password, PIN, or fingerprint that you set up before they can be accessed, providing an additional layer of security to protect your apps and data on your Samsung device.
