We’ve all been there, you lend your phone to a friend to show them a photo, or let a child play a game, and suddenly you’re worrying they might peek into your messages, open your email, or even mess with your settings.
That’s where App Pinning on Android comes in. It locks your phone to a single app, so whoever’s using it can only stay within that app until you decide otherwise. It’s a simple but powerful way to protect your privacy and keep your device secure when it’s in someone else’s hands.
