And the same goes for your smartphone. So if you own a Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro, you can rest assured that the phone itself has a handful of security features, without needing to depend on a third-party app.

Located in the security settings, all it needs is a template before it starts.
This ensures that all your personal data, passwords, files and folders are kept safe in case the device is lost or stolen.
Screen pinning is one of Android's must-have features when it comes to protecting your privacy, especially when you need to share your phone.
A smart way to ensure maximum security in your Galaxy J7 Pro is to activate the pattern before unpinning it. This way, your friends won't be able to wander around your phone after bypassing the screen PIN.

So the next time you hand over your phone, turn on pinning and sit back and relax.If you have been a Samsung user, you must know the Lock and hide apps characteristic.
