Has anyone tried the inbuilt app lock in the phone? I had locked some apps in it. When I open the app, it asks for pattern for the first time. But when I exit the app and open it again, the app opens without asking for pattern. Can anyone confirm this?
This is not confirmed but u may try it once. Please not clear the recent of the 'applock' app .means the 'appkock' is always be in the recent .

I use APP Lock and love it. However, I find it annoying to unlock apps manually when I want to use a particular app.
To solve this, APP Lock included a widget that unlocks or locks "set" of apps. The problem is that when the phones goes into screen lock and is used again, the unlock setting remains and leave all of my apps vulnerable.
Is there an app out there that will "lock" when the phone goes into screen lock?
Thanks!
bump. am i the only one with this issue?
Searh for a different app lock. Unless the dev for that app is going to update that app. I dont think it has anything to do with the phone.

Near the very top of the article are 5 very good apps for locking apps down, just look at each and see which has an interface that is usable. Unfortunately, I dont have any recommendations as to a specific app and how securely it locks down an app, most store the passwords in a plain text file that are visible to anyone with a Linux machine if your phone is currently rooted.
I use a combination of hiding or freezing apps AND password protecting them. It takes someone really knowledgeable (and willing to snoop) to first unfreeze an app in TB, then go to Go Launchers' app drawer to un-hide an app, then figure out the 16 alpha(upper & lower case)/numeric/symbols password to open my LastPass and banking apps. You just have to remember that you have to FIRST hide the app, then freeze it when you are done using said app (so you have to do it in reverse order).
Anyone have details, links, or ideas? I need something that locks app to device so that they cant be uninstalled without password. Have a child impossible to get up for school and want to install xtreme alarm clock and them not able to remove it.

Smart Home Screen & Application Locker (With Guest Mode access)
There are more than 250 App Locks in the Google Play marketplace. How is this one different, all the features seem to be the same in each of the app.
We developed an app that would solve one of the biggest issues with app lockers. When I use app lock on my phone, it does not mean that I can keep the home scree of the phone unlocked. Therefore, when I want to you use a protected app (protected by any app locker from the market), I would first need to unlock the home screen and then unlock the app. This two step process becomes too tedious when a user has to use any app frequently. For example, in case you are chatting with a person, the replies do not come soon enough that you are chatting on run time basis, so the app and the screen get locked. You would need to open both of them in order to reply to the chat message.
We came up with a solution that is combination of an app lock as well as a home screen lock. The user can select all the apps that he wants to keep locked and private. The user then creates a master password/ PIN/ Pattern and a Guest Password/PIN/Pattern. When the home screen is unlocked using the master password, all the protected apps get automatically unlocked along with the home screen. So when you are using your own phone, you do not have to input two passwords.
In case someone borrows your phone, or want to just have a look at it or make a small call; give them your Guest Password/ PIN/ Pattern. The home screen will open with this Guest Password, but all your protected apps continue to be locked.
We believe that such a combination is not available on any of the apps that are marketed. Therefore, we went ahead and filed a patent on it as well. We hope you would like the app. You can download it for free from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pluggdd.SmartAppLocker
Hello,
I have a problem finding the right app lock. I have tried everything, but I have not found what I was looking for.
I need an app lock app which would start right after boot without that 5-10s delay. The problem is that I have noticed that when somebody restarts my phone(my family- often), he/she can look through my photos or messages for that time, and that is what I want to avoid.
So, I suppose that there are several solutions:
1) Find an app lock app which would start immediately after system boot
2) Find some kind of boot manager to change the boot sequence(so that I can make my app lock app boot first)
3) Find some kind of lock screen app which would require password only after boot
If someone could help me solve this problem, I would be very grateful.
Thanks!
p.s. I do not find android Settings- Lock screen convenient, because I would have to unlock screen every time I want to use my phone
Just got the mate 10 pro and Everytime I open a new instance of either Facebook or messenger app the app just closes I tried uninstalling both of them then reinstalling without any luck. Anyone else is facing this issue ?
Ido not know how to solve your issue, but I have a similar issue (I think), so I thought I could try and help pinning it down by describing it here as it is differently triggered: I cannot use google translate's "tap to translate" feature, i.e., automatically opening google translate right after copying some text to clipboard. It actually starts loading, then closes back to the app I was on. But after that, trying to open the google translate app itself, it works. So, it also sounds like "app does not open on first try" maybe? And the reason I posted this is because I do not manually try to open the app the first time, but it should be automatically opened bythe system. So maybe it does not matter how you try to open the apps first time, either manually or called by the system? Idk. Just trying to help pin the source of the problem down.

You think it could have something to do with the optimization of EMUI 8?
Seeing how these threads are sadly dead I'm not expecting a lot from this. My stock weather app does not update automatically. I have to open the app and pull down to refresh. The app location permission only gives me the option for "only allow while using app". I need to allow it to always use location. Any ideas???
