App Lock


    Tap the 'App Lock' button on the home screen
      • App lock lets you stop other users from opening your apps and games without your knowledge.
        • The feature lets you lock any app you want behind a pattern known only to yourself.
          • To use the feature, you need to enable 'Draw over other apps' and 'Usage data access' for CMS in Android permissions.
            • App Lock is only available for Premium license holders. See 'Upgrade your CMS Account' to see a full list of the features you get with each license type.
