To enable App Lock with Secure Folder on Samsung Galaxy devices, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Set up Secure Folder
Open the "Settings" app on your Samsung Galaxy device. Scroll down and tap on "Biometrics and security" or "Lock screen and security", depending on your device model. Tap on "Secure Folder". Note: If you haven't set up Secure Folder before, you will need to set it up by following the on-screen instructions.
Step 2: Add Apps to Secure Folder
Once you have set up Secure Folder, open the Secure Folder app from your app drawer or home screen. Tap on "Add apps" to add apps to the Secure Folder. Select the apps that you want to add to Secure Folder by checking the boxes next to them. Tap on "Add" to move the selected apps to Secure Folder. Step 3: Enable App Lock
After adding apps to Secure Folder, go back to the Secure Folder app. Tap on the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner and select "Settings". Under the "Security" section, tap on "App lock". Turn on the switch next to "App lock" to enable it. You may need to authenticate using your biometrics (fingerprint, PIN, password, etc.) to set up the App Lock. Step 4: Customize App Lock Settings
Once App Lock is enabled, you can customize its settings by tapping on "App lock settings" under the "Security" section in the Secure Folder settings. In the App Lock settings, you can choose to enable or disable the "Lock when screen turns off" option, change the lock type (e.g., PIN, password, pattern), and select which apps you want to lock. You can also set up a timeout duration for App Lock, after which it will automatically lock the apps in Secure Folder when they are not in use. That's it! You have successfully enabled App Lock with Secure Folder on your Samsung Galaxy device. Now, the apps that you added to Secure Folder will be locked and can only be accessed after authenticating with your biometrics or other lock methods that you have set up.
