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

  1. Open the menu.
  2. Tap „Phone protection“.
  3. Turn on „App lock“.
  4. When you open Semanty, a check appears.
  5. The title is „Semanty is locked“.
  6. Confirm with your face, finger, or the phone PIN.
  7. 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.
