Samsung Galaxy smartphones are a power package of convenient features, but as of yet, they lack a needy feature called App Lock. Now the brand with the One UI 7.0 update could bring this App Lock feature.
Samsung has already started developing Android 15-based One UI 7.0 internal beta testing for the recently launched Galaxy S24 series. This latest update could bring a new feature to enhance users’ secure experience by letting them lock their apps easily without even requiring third-party apps.
Samsung’s One UI 7: App Lock Feature in the Works?
The new report says that the One UI 7.0 could bring a new App Lock feature, which is currently missing from Samsung’s One UI. This is being speculated by a tipster named @tarunvats33 on X, who suggested that “One UI 7 might bring App Lock, letting you lock down any app you want.”
With the upcoming One UI 7.0 iteration, a new option called App Lock will appear, placed right below the Dual Messenger feature. You can easily access this security option by taking the easy steps, which are as follows: Go to Settings >> Advanced Features >> At the end, you will see an app lock feature.
Currently, the devices that are running at least on the One UI 6.1 version don’t include the Lock App below the Dual Messanger feature within the list of advanced features. Users can hide their sensitive application documents and media files in a secure folder; they need to set it up fully and then install a new instance of that application. Finally, to avoid a time-consuming process, Samsung with One UI 7.0 could bring the App Lock feature.
