Here’s how to Pin App on your One UI 6.1 Samsung devices

In today’s era, sharing holiday photos or funny content with friends and family on social media is a common activity. However, this can lead to unintended privacy violations if they accidentally access other apps or view personal message notifications on your device.

To address this concern, Samsung‘s One UI offers a “Pin App” feature for Galaxy devices. This feature allows users to lock a single app onto the screen, preventing access to other apps and protecting notification content.

You can use the Pin App feature on your One UI 6.1 Samsung devices to secure privacy when showing apps on smartphones. Once activated, the Pin App feature acts as a DND mode, effectively blocking pop-up notifications that could contain private and sensitive information.

Let’s see how to activate the Pin App feature on your One UI 6.1 Samsung devices.

• Open the Settings app on your smartphone
• Go to Security and Privacy.
• In the More Security Settings section, turn on the “Pin App” option.
• Access the Recents screen by tapping the button next to the Home button.
• Choose the app you want to pin and tap the pin icon above it.
• Confirm by selecting “Pin this app”.

Samsung’s Pin App feature ensures that when you are showing something on your device, the viewer cannot navigate away from the pinned app or see any of your notifications. It’s an effective way to maintain privacy while sharing your device with others.
