Smartphones often store sensitive information, such as banking apps, important messages, passwords, photos, and videos. Protecting this data is essential, and taking the right steps can help secure it.
While you can lock your entire device with a password, PIN, or fingerprint, locking individual apps requires additional tools known as app lockers. These apps allow you to secure specific applications with a password or pattern lock to prevent unauthorized access.
Locking Apps on Your Android Device
To lock your private apps with a password, you can use the App Lock from DoMobile Lab. Here’s how to get started:
1. Download and install the App Lock app on your Android smartphone.
2. Open the app and create an unlock pattern.
3. On the next screen, tap the “Agree and Start” button.
4. Navigate to the Protect tab.
5. If you want to enable fingerprint protection, activate the Fingerprint Lock option.
6. Go to the Privacy tab and scroll down to view the list of installed apps.
7. Tap the lock icon next to the app you want to secure. You will be prompted to grant permission; make sure to allow permissions to close the app.
8. Once you’ve granted permission, the app will be locked.
9. When you attempt to open the locked app, you will be required to draw the unlock pattern.
