If you want to protect some of your applications from unauthorized access, you can think of adding a passcode to them. Several people want to lock their social media apps, messages, and gallery to prevent unauthorized access. Some Android phones come with a built-in app locking feature, but not all. Samsung has a Secure Folder app that lets you lock apps with a PIN or fingerprint. MIUI also has a similar feature. If your Android phone doesn’t offer any app to block apps, you can download some third-party app locking apps on Android phone.

AppLock is the best and most popular Android app developed by DoMobile. The app can lock social media apps, games, banking apps, and your private data to ensure no one else can access your personal information. The app also includes a Photo vault to hide photos and videos. There is also a private browser that doesn’t save browsing history or searches.
