Use App Lock to Lock Important Apps
App lock allows you to set a password for your WeChat, Alipay, and other important apps. Once
you restart your phone or unlock the phone screen, you will be asked to enter your App lock
password when initially opening the apps. App lock enhances the protection of your private
information and prevents unauthorized access to important apps on your device.
Enable App lock: Open Settings. Go to Security & privacy > App lock, and follow the
onscreen instructions to set a password, then enable App lock for the apps you want to protect.
When you initially open a locked app, follow the onscreen instructions to enter your password
and the answer to your security question.
If you have set up a fingerprint to unlock your phone and are setting up your App lock
password for the first time, you can follow the onscreen instructions to associate your
fingerprint for easier app unlocking.
Modify your App lock password: Touch on the App lock screen and touch Change
password or Change password protection to modify your App lock password.

Enhanced Data Protection: Defend Your Privacy
Worried that your photos, bank account information, or other private data might get leaked if your
phone is lost or stolen? Huawei phones now feature security chips in addition to the combined
protection provided by the trusted root key and lock screen password. Whether your data is
stored in a microSD card or internal storage, it will receive the highest level of protection.
Stronger encryption and safeguards: Huawei phones use a hardware key that cannot be used
to decrypt data when separated from the phone. Based on the trusted root key, the encrypted
components are incorporated into the memory control chip to enhance the data protection
capability of the hardware. This works together with your lock screen password to protect your
private data. When you use PrivateSpace, Multi-user, encrypted microSD files, or other features
to encrypt photos, personal information, or other personal data, the only way your data can
possibly be decrypted is if the trusted root key, lock screen password, and security chip are
simultaneously cracked.Not all devices support microSD cards.
