Dear Samsung Team,


I am a loyal Samsung Galaxy user. While I deeply appreciate the hardware quality and the overall experience provided by One UI, there is one major feature missing that puts Samsung behind competitors: a native, built-in App Lock system. 


Currently, while many other Android brands offer a straightforward, built-in option to lock individual apps using biometrics or a PIN, Samsung users are forced to rely on third-party applications from the Play Store or use the Secure Folder. While Secure Folder is great, it creates cloned copies rather than simply locking the main app in the app drawer. 


Many users simply want a quick, native toggle to lock specific apps directly from the home screen or app drawer without the hassle of third-party apps or workarounds.


Will Samsung be introducing a native App Lock feature in upcoming updates (such as One UI) for devices like the Galaxy S series? Adding this highly-requested privacy feature would greatly improve the user experience. 


Thank you for listening to customer feedback and continuously improving your software.


Best regards,

SHUBHAM
