Encrypt SD Card
←
Settings > Biometrics and security >
Encrypt or decrypt SD card
Your device allows for an optional memory card of up to 1TB
(not included) that can be used for additional storage. To protect
and limit access of the information on the memory card, you can
encrypt it so that it can only be read on your device once you
enter the password you create.
If you perform a factory data reset, your phone will be unable to
read the encrypted memory card. Before initiating a Factory data
reset, make sure to decrypt the installed memory card first.
SIM Card Lock
←
Settings > Biometrics and security > Other security settings >
Set up SIM card lock
Your SIM card includes information like your phone number and
voice/data plans, which can be compromised if the SIM card is
placed into another device. To help protect it, you can create a
PIN that will lock access to the SIM card.
Pin windows
←
Settings > Biometrics and security > Other security settings >
Pin windows
Pin windows allows you to pin an app to the screen and block
usage of all other functions of the phone including calling,
texting, and other frequently used apps. This feature is very
helpful if you want to lend your phone to another user, such as
a child, so that they can only use the pinned app. For example, if
you pin YouTube, it is the only function they will be able to use,
and all other functions of your phone are locked.
When you want to return to regular usage mode, hold the Back
and Recent Apps buttons at the same time for a few seconds. To
unpin an app, you may need the authorized user’s security PIN,
pattern, or password.
Permission manager
←
Settings > Privacy > Permission manager
Some apps, like the camera, microphone, or location services,
access features of your device when they are running in the
background and not just when you are using the app. You can
give or deny such access to each app and set your device to
notify you when access is requested for each category you select.
