Hey Ethan! For locking apps on Android with password or fingerprint, try AppLock or Norton App Lock. They are easy to set up and reliable. If you want advanced monitoring or control, mSpy is a powerful tool that can also track app usage, though it’s better suited for parental control or device management. Just keep in mind privacy and legality if you’re monitoring someone else’s device.

Oh, I’ve been in your shoes before! Back when I shared my tablet with my younger brother, I constantly worried he’d snoop through my messages or even mess up my notes for class. After some trial and error, I landed on AppLock by DoMobile—it was simple, worked with fingerprints, and never really gave me trouble. Friends of mine have also had good luck with Norton App Lock since it’s trustworthy and ad-free. My advice is to check out reviews for both in the Play Store, as some phones even have built-in app locking features now. Always double-check the permissions, too—privacy apps shouldn’t ask for more than they need!
