Can anyone tell me why such a basic feature is so hard to find or does not come by default in phones nowadays?
Edit : I meant app lock which uses fingerprint or pattern. I want to apply it to Gallery and other apps. I already have Shelter running on my phone and also have secure folder, but that’s not what I’m for. Sorry if my question wasn’t clear.
Afaik this is a stock feature
in LineageOS’s Trebuchet Launcher,
called “Hidden & Protected apps”
You can switch to LineageOS for it,
or grab only the launcher from APKMirror:

Note: I’m still on Android 13,
so not fully sure if it will be available on 14,
but I don’t see why it wouldn’t.
