What does „Stranger face“ do?
The switch „Panic on a stranger face“ locks Semanty in the background. It opens only with your face or finger.
Step by step
- Open the menu.
- Tap „Phone protection“.
- First turn on „App lock“.
- Set a face or a finger in the phone settings.
- Allow the camera if the phone asks.
- Turn on „Panic on a stranger face“.
Good to know
- It locks at once, as soon as Semanty goes to the background.
- It does not wait 20 seconds like „Lock in the background“.
- The phone PIN does not work here.
- The screen says to unlock with your face or finger.
- The camera also locks when there are two faces.
- It also locks if someone takes the phone.
- That is after a frame in which there was no face.
- It does not delete the keys.
- If the lock is off, turn it on first.
- Then it says „Turn on the lock first“.
If it does not work
- Without the camera it says „No camera permission“.
- Give permission and turn the switch on again.
- Without a face or a finger, a PIN alone is not enough.
- The text says to set a face or a finger.
- Set them in the phone settings.
