I sometimes let my kid use my phone, but I don’t want them accidentally opening certain apps where they could cause damage. How do I set certain apps to require an unlock?

I’ve seen that some apps have this feature built in, but I’d like a way to do it for any given app.

It’s a Samsung phone if that makes a difference.

FOSS is preferred, but any offline solution works.

    Not really the specific answer to OP’s question… But I think this is a good strategy. I mean since you’d probably be handing over the phone on a regular basis… It’s probably worth the effort to set up a new account and make some specific apps available there. Also stops them from accidentally calling your colleagues from work and all these things.
