Hi all,

Do you know how to lock individual app access, with the fingerprint scanner? Is this even possible?

I've had cheaper smartphones with fingerprint scanner, that I could use, not only to lock/unlock the phone, but also lock the access to individual apps of my choosing, so no one besides me, could open them!

Is this possible in the IRON PRO ? If so, where is this option? I haven't found it, but I only have this phone for one day...

Maybe if the option is not available, do you know if the option is in any software in the Google Playstore?

Thanks

I think that when android 6, which has default fingerprint API, will be released for our smartphone we'll be able to download some fingerprint locker app from the play store.

And why don't you implement it? Is that too hard or too much to ask?

No point in having a firngerprint scanner, if you can only use it to unlock device, but not use it for other functions like locking/unlocking specific apps/files access.
