prevent unauthorised access. If you have enabled App Lock and set Face Recognition as the
app unlock method, when your face is not detected by your device, the locked app can't be
accessed again after it is closed unless you verify your identity. This feature intelligently
protects your privacy and works better in a well-lit environment.
Enable App Lock
Go to Settings > Security > App Lock > Enable, set the App Lock password and select
the apps to lock.
If you have enabled face or ngerprint unlock, you can link App Lock with a face ID or

Enable Intelligent Protection for Locked Apps
If you have enabled App Lock and set Face Recognition as the app unlock method, the
system will intelligently detect that it is a dierent face to normal and provide further
security protection for locked apps. If your face is not detected, such as when someone else is
using your device, the locked app can't be accessed again after it is closed unless you verify
your identity. This feature works better in a well-lit environment.
The intelligent protection feature will be enabled automatically once you have set Face
Recognition as the app unlock method in either of the following ways:
• If you have enabled Face Recognition for your device, follow the onscreen instructions to
link your face when you enable App lock. The intelligent protection feature will then be
