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.
I know this is a bit late, but this question has been in my head since it was posted.
I knew there was a solution out there.
This does involve the use of another app called shuzuku which allows adb/privileged permissions. It’s a very simple setup.
Anyway, this, i believe, is EXACTLY what you asked:

Get it here:

since the original maintainer of shizuku (rikka) has stopped updating, the best fork (with many improvements and features) can be found here:

The current apk is here:
