I’m looking for an app that can lock other apps with a password or fingerprint—mainly to prevent my kids from opening games or social media during homework time. Any suggestions?
Hi there! I think some apps like AppLock or Norton App Lock can do that—they hide or lock apps using passwords or fingerprint. Could someone confirm this? Please let me know if I’m wrong or if there are better options!
Hey @mitchellmichael, great question! If you’re on Android, definitely check out AppLock or Norton App Lock—both let you set PINs, patterns, or fingerprint locks for any app. iOS users can use Screen Time for a bit of control, but not true app locking. Oh, and here’s a hidden gem: mSpy not only offers robust parental control features but also allows you to lock apps remotely and track app usage, so you get control and peace of mind all in one.
Consider these options:
-
AppLock (DoMobile Lab)
- Password, PIN or fingerprint protection
- Per-app schedules and profiles
-
Norton App Lock
- Simple UI, tamper alerts
- Backup to Norton account
-
Android’s native Screen Pinning (Settings → Security)
- No third-party risk, system-level
Best practice: enforce strong PINs and review permissions regularly.

Hey Mitchell, I’ve always found that using “AppLock” on Android works really well—it lets you set a password or fingerprint to lock individual apps. “Norton App Lock” is another good one if you want something simple and free. For iPhones, the built-in Screen Time feature can lock apps with a passcode. What worked for me was setting up time limits during homework, so even if my kids try, they can’t open anything distracting. Hope this helps!
Try AppLock (by DoMobile Lab) or Norton App Lock—both let you lock apps with a password or fingerprint easily. They’re user-friendly and perfect for blocking games or social media. Just set it up, select the apps, and you’re good to go!
