How can I lock the android settings app/menu?

[Saravanan0301]

I have a 's secure' app lock, I am able to lock required apps. But what I notice is if I go to settings and uninstall 'S Secure' app it gets uninstalled. I am looking to lock settings or a mechanism which prevents uninstalling 's secure' app.

I am not sure how this will help fix the issue raised.

to get the UI of 'Lock and Mask App' you can

goto settings -> Advanced Features -> Lock and Mask app

or

open the 'S Secure' app.

at least with the galaxy a51 I have we will get the lock and mask app option in advanced features settings only if the S Secure app is installed.



one note: try not using third part apps as much as possible to secure the data in your mobile

then just hide s secure app

hmm, I am not sure how to hide

but let's say I hide it somehow

will hiding the app case it to not list the app under settings -> apps section ?

and pls let me know how to hide app with android's or Samsung's inbuilt method without using other apps

[Saravanan0301]

yes this trick hid the app but after hiding I was still able to uninstall from settings -> app list

it partially worked

[samsungfannotbiased]

settings>display>Home screen>Hide apps

[samsungfannotbiased]

if this trick worked accept it as solution by clicking on three dots

[samsungfannotbiased]

then hide settings app is only way

may be let us wait to see if anyone else have any other inputs
