Dear Samsung Development Team,
I have been using the Galaxy S25 Ultra since its launch, and the overall experience has been excellent. However, there is one critical security feature currently missing that would greatly improve daily usage: a native, standalone App Lock.
Currently, the Secure Folder is the only built-in option to protect apps, but it is not user-friendly for simple app locking due to the following issues:
- Redundant Installations: Users must install a second copy of an app inside the Secure Folder and transfer backups, rather than just locking the existing app on the home screen.
- Complex Workflow: Locking and unlocking a single app outside the Secure Folder is unnecessarily difficult.
- Removed Lock Options: Recent updates removed key "When to lock" settings, such as "Lock immediately upon exiting." The current time-delay options (e.g., 5 minutes) leave data exposed.
Requested Solution:
Please add a dedicated, native App Lock feature in an upcoming One UI update. This would allow users to lock individual apps directly on their home screen using biometrics or a PIN, eliminating the need for unsecure third-party locker apps or the complex Secure Folder workaround.

Thank you for your time and for constantly improving the Galaxy ecosystem.
