There can be many reasons for this, but the most important thing is that modern Android devices allow you to do this. Samsung has a secure folder Knoxwhile Xiaomi has a standard application “Safety“.

Block App – Xiaomi

Even the most inexperienced user will cope with step-by-step instructions.

We will not delve into the reasons why users block apps. Everyone has their own motives for this. Xiaomi smartphone shell – MIUI gives users enough options to avoid resorting to third-party software. Most of us, after setting up our devices for the first time, didn’t pay much attention to the Security app.

And someone even tried to remove it, suggesting that it was some kind of not very high-quality antivirus. But this program has a lot of functionality. In addition to optimizing the system, cleaning up accumulated garbage and increasing the speed of work, it is with the help of it that you can put additional protection on installed applications.

Unlocking the desired application with your fingerprint is very convenient, but you can set up face unlock as well.

To block the programnecessary:

  • Open the Security app.
  • Scroll to the very bottom of the page.
  • Select the Application Protection section.
  • Press the “Enable” button and follow the instructions on the screen of your smartphone. Please note that in addition to the graphic key, you can also use a passcode. Both of these methods may differ from those set for unlocking the smartphone.
  • After setting up, you need to select the applications that you want to block and move the slider in front of them.

By default, a program that you have unlocked for use is only locked back at the same time as the screen. Additionally, you can set up blocking also immediately after exiting the application or a minute after exiting the application. Settings should be enough for all occasions.

How to hide an app on Xiaomi

The section of hidden applications is located in “Security”, but on MIUI 13 for some reason it disappeared from there.

For application hiding we’ll also use the Security app. For some unknown reason, on MIUI 13, the ability to hide applications by directly going into this program disappeared. But there is a small workaround to get to this section. To hide the program from the application menu and the desktop, you must:

  • Go to settings.
  • In the search, enter “Hide applications” and follow the appropriate link.
  • In the list presented, select the programs you need to hide.
  • Everything! The selected applications are hidden.

Then, to enter, you will need to enter a password, use biometrics, or draw a pattern, depending on the authorization method you have chosen. In the same folder, you can hide notifications from programs added to it.
