Dear Samsung Team,

I am using a Samsung Galaxy smartphone and following the One UI 9 updates closely.While the new design, animations, and Galaxy AI features look incredible, we are still missing a crucial utility feature: a Native App Lock.

Currently, we have to rely on Secure Folder or third-party apps to lock our social media and banking applications. Secure Folder is great for duplicating apps, but it is not a direct or convenient solution for a simple, day-to-day app lock. Many other brands offer this natively, and it is a highly requested feature by the Samsung community.

Since Android 17 is bringing better privacy controls, I sincerely request the development team to include a dedicated, built-in Native App Lock feature (secured with Fingerprint/PIN) for all global users in the upcoming One UI 9 updates.

Thank you!
