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.",
