How do I lock Semanty?
You lock it from the menu, with „App lock“. When you open it, your face, finger, or the phone PIN is asked for.
Step by step
- Open the menu.
- Tap „Phone protection“.
- Turn on „App lock“.
- When you open Semanty, a check appears.
- The title is „Semanty is locked“.
- Confirm with your face, finger, or the phone PIN.
- Tap „Unlock“.
Good to know
- This is extra protection if someone takes the phone.
- On this screen everything is off until you turn it on yourself.
- The lock asks every time you open Semanty.
- The text says to confirm with your face, finger, or PIN.
- The label at the check is „Unlock Semanty“.
- With the phone PIN it can also be unlocked.
- Turn on „Lock in the background“ if you want a second check.
- It comes after about 20 seconds in the background.
- It works only if the lock is already on.
- There is also a switch „Secrets only with biometrics“.
- The phone must have a face, a finger, or a PIN.
- If there is none, set one of them in the phone settings.
- The panic PIN turns the lock on by itself.
If it does not work
- If the screen does not ask, the lock is off.
- Go back and turn on „App lock“.
- If the check does not pass, it says „Not confirmed“.
- Try again.
