For Android operating system, we already have built-in tools for locking the overall phone screen, but when it comes to locking individual apps, it's not integrated yet. To lock apps on your Android phone, we need to use third-party software. In this article, Software Tricks will guide you on How to Lock Apps on Your Android Phone.

Download it to use. When launching the app for the first time, you need to set a password to unlock the app. Initially, you can only choose a pattern password, but later on, you'll be able to set up various types of locking methods within the system.
Step 1: Choose Privacy, where you can select the apps you want to lock. Just tap on the Lock icon next to them.
Step 2: After selecting the apps to lock, go to the Protection tab to continue setting up Security and General Information. In this step, you can customize according to your personal needs.
Step 3: After you've finished setting up, when you try to open the apps you've locked, the software will prompt you to enter a password to unlock them.
