Samsung phones could finally get proper app lock with One UI 9.5
A more convenient app lock feature could be in the works for Samsung phones.
Samsung is reportedly set to introduce a proper app lock feature in its upcoming One UI 9.5 software, as per a leak shared by tipster Fahad Ali Javed, as reported by Android Authority. This feature, which allows users to lock specific apps behind a PIN or biometric scan, is currently available on other Android brands and is expected to make its way to Samsung devices with One UI 9.5.
The leak includes screenshots showing the app lock icon appearing when users press and hold an app icon in the app drawer, hinting at a feature that has similarities with the Android Canary's recent app lock functionality.
