Iād like to propose the inclusion of an App Lock feature in the stable release of One UI 7.0. While the current security features are great, adding the ability to lock individual apps with a password or biometric authentication would offer an additional layer of privacy and protection for sensitive data. This feature would be especially useful for apps like messaging, banking, or photo galleries, where users might prefer extra security.
Not only would this help safeguard personal information, but it would also provide peace of mind, knowing that even if someone else gets access to your phone, they wonāt be able to open certain apps without proper authentication.
Why it makes sense:
Enhanced privacy: Protects apps that contain personal or sensitive information.
Ease of use: Simple, intuitive UI that works alongside the existing lock screen.
Customization: Users can choose which apps to lock, providing flexibility.
I believe this feature could significantly improve the user experience on Samsung devices, making them even more secure.
Thanks for reading, and Iād love to hear what others think about this idea!
Thank you for sharing your suggestion! An App Lock feature that allows users to secure individual apps with a password or biometric authentication would certainly provide an additional layer of privacy and protection for sensitive data.
Samsung continues to explore new security and customization features, and we appreciate ideas like this that could enhance the One UI experience. While we canāt confirm any changes at this time, weāll make sure this feedback is shared with the relevant teams.
If other community members would find this feature useful, feel free to share your thoughts! Your feedback helps shape future improvements.
Thanks again for contributing to the discussion and helping make One UI even better.
