We need an individual App Locking Feature, what we currently have with the Secure Folder is not good enough or convenient enough. ALL apps should also be able to be individually locked even system apps if we want to for example. Please make an Individual App Locking Feature, Even if it has to go through something like "Good Lock" or something until it makes it into the OS features. Maybe the secure folder capabilities can be enhanced to do this somehow? Thank You!

I would prefer, instead of having to go through each of the 130+ apps that I have and lock/unlock each app, something like 'kids'. A space, where my guest could log into a guest profile using their Google or Microsoft account and access the apps I've placed there, but would also keep their brouser history, favorites, and searches in their account and be separate from mine, then when they sign into their account somewhere else on another device, their search history, favorites, and such are there for them.

This space could allow them to customize and personalize their home screen and color style.

I would like to have that instead.

How is locking individual apps more convenient than turning on kids mode each time you allow your young'uns to use your device?  It's an icon tap on or off.

When you look an app you just lock it forever & don't think twice about it after. & Is better for security purposes in general. kids mode you have to keep turning that on all the time. That's annoying

Not only are app locks for ordinary apps insanely ridiculous, it would be the app developers' responsibility to code that into their apps.  Apps that need security, such as banking apps, already have app locks on them.  Stop trying to get Samsung to do an app developer's job.  They gave you the secure folder to put apps into if you don't want prying eyes to get at.  

 

If you are in the habit of lending your device to people who don't know any better than to mess with apps, I suggest you buy a cheap tablet and let them have at it.  Parents and siblings?  If you can't trust them, don't hand them your phone.
