use Screen Pinning to protect your Android data from children. Many parents have concerns about their children accidentally deleting or accessing important data on their Android devices. Fortunately, Android devices have a built-in feature called “Screen Pinning” that can help address these concerns. In this video tutorial, viewers will learn how to use Screen Pinning to protect their Android data from children.
The first step is to ensure that the Android device is running on Android 5.0 or later. Users should then go to the “Settings” app and select “Security.” From there, they can select “Screen Pinning” and toggle it on.
Once Screen Pinning is enabled, users can go to the app they wish to pin and open it. They should then press the “Overview” button, which is typically represented by a square or three horizontal lines. Users should then look for the “Pin” icon and select it to pin the app to the screen.
With Screen Pinning enabled, users can rest assured that their children will not accidentally navigate away from the pinned app and access sensitive data or settings. To unpin the app, users can simply press and hold the “Back” and “Overview” buttons simultaneously.
In addition to protecting data from children, Screen Pinning can also be useful in public settings where users may not want others to access their devices. For example, users can pin a map app while asking for directions or pin a music app while someone else uses the device to make a call.
