3 Then open the application and you will see a display similar to the image below. A blue button with a zero means that you haven’t locked any apps yet. To start locking the application you want, you must determine what application you want with the password you created above by clicking on the blue area with a zero in the middle.

4 Then a screen similar to the one shown in the image below will appear. At this step, you only need to determine what application you want by clicking / tapping once on the application in question so that a blue tick icon appears.
