Android 17 Beta Lets Pixel Lock Apps, Samsung Could Follow

Google’s Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3 adds a system‑level App Lock that lets you lock individual apps behind your device’s unlock method, starting with Pixel devices and likely rolling out further (with a final release expected in December); Samsung’s One UI 9.5 beta appears to preview a similar tool, signaling a broader rollout, and the feature provides a simple privacy boost without third‑party apps, including a new Security & privacy menu to manage enabled apps.

Samsung One UI 9.5 brings built-in app lock, no extra password needed

Samsung appears to be adding a native App Lock feature with One UI 9.5, enabling you to lock any app or game directly from the home screen or app drawer by tapping a lock icon after long-pressing an icon. It relies on the phone’s existing unlock method, so no new password is required. The feature was spotted in a One UI 9.5-based firmware on the Galaxy S26 and is expected to roll out with the Galaxy S27 launch next year, later reaching older devices.
