How screen pinning increases privacy

Screen pinning empowers users to securely lock a single application on their smartphone display. When an app is pinned, only that specific application is visible on the screen. Anyone using the phone in this pinned state can only access content within that app, unable to navigate elsewhere.

What makes this feature especially secret is that it does not openly request a password or PIN to exit. As a result, your partner will not be alerted to the fact that the phone is locked, thereby maintaining the privacy of your digital space. To get out of screen PIN, a special method has to be adopted.

  • Go to your smartphone's settings.
  • Select the " Security and Privacy" option.
  • Go to the " Advanced" section.
  • Find " Screen Pinning/App Pinning" or a supported lock screen and enable it.
