As far as I know there is no app which will enable you to do this just yet.

Hello Guys,
I was wondering if there's any Good and Less Irritating Fingerprint Security app for S5?
I need to lock some Apps like WhatsApp so what's are the Best options?
With cool features.. I tried using an app FingerSecurity (or similar) it was sort of irritating.. Because if my Device gets locked while using WhatsApp and i open the lock with Fingerprint.. Then it again prompts me to put Finger Print and when i scan again.. Nothing happens..
Please help me out.. And yeah my device is not rooted.

I don't think there are any apps for FingerPrint Security. If there is I wouldn't even trust that app. It's a good chance it's fake, or it can take your idenity.
Samsung should do it!

I can't send a screenshot, because I'm using a custom ROM. It's in settings-security-screen lock- fingerprint
I am not talking about Screen Lock.. I am talking about locking apps.

Oh. There is no possible way.

This is not true. Apps that use Samsungs fingerprint scanner don't get your fingerprint. The only get to know if the fingerprint is one of the fingerprint that are registerd.
Also Samsung does not save a fingerprint but a hash.

Yeah. But I don't trust any apps or samsung to give my fingerprint too.
You can, not me.

That is okay. I just want you to know that your fingerprints are not vissible to the apps which use fingerprint unlock
I would not give my fingerprint to an app either

I like this idea a lot. Maybe you can get a bounty placed on it. Would be a great use for the sensor.
It's possible already, the app maker has to support it. The app has no access to the fingerprint info, it's just for verification (in this case, locking the app) so that addresses the privacy concern

I think several exist.... Search applock in play store. I don't have link but I know they do. Only a few support fingerprint.... But I'm sure all will update as a few have already
Finger Security - Don't know how well it works though.

Shows up as not compatible...maybe it's my DPI settings?
Finger Security is Samsung only. Applock would have been great, but I can't have it to access the fingerprint scanner...

Only for pictures. What I want is an app locker for any app (cause my bank app is not a picture).
Hey guys! We finally have have an fingerprint app lock!! Its called Maxlock on Xposed. It does require you to be rooted. I am using this app now and it works flawlessly.
is there an app that lets me unlock an app with a finger print?
subbin
try maxlock
Mint Bills uses the scanner as well. The regular mint app doesn't yet, but Mint Bills does.

That doesn't support finggerprints.
There is an app that does however. Applock -Fingerprint- works with 6P and 5X fingerprint readers.

Yes it does. I've used it.
Hmm this app looks useful too. Privacy ace is annoying because you can't remove the ads. I'll have to try this one out!
If root max lock xposed works very well.

Applock -Fingerprint just works
On my note, I could screen shot then draw over it. Anyway to add that feature on the 6p?
I browsed the market and found some but all seem very glitchy. Maybe an exposed module out there?

Does it integrate with the default screenshot? Or do you have to take a screenshot then open the app and browse for the photo?

You're asking for a feature that is probably specific to the Note series of samsung phablets on a stock android device.
Besides third party apps and modifications it won't happen.

Hi, im trying to find app lock which unlock based on iris and finer print for note 9, i found many apps with only finger unlock.
let me know if there is any app for it.
thank you
Interested aswell

Me too but unfortunately, with some of Samsung devices being the only devices with this tech, I don't think we'll have a lot of devs willing to spend time and recourses on an app for such a limited number of users
One solution is to put app inside the secret folder area, then you gota use iris or fingerprint to get to the app you want, since you gota unlock that folder and then go into app you want to use.

I will check if thats possible.
^ Please do!
Willing to invest in a paid version that has this feature.
Not exactly what you asking for. But if you are happy to switch to Hyperion launcher then it has app lock function using iris. I am using it and it works great.

In android pie there should be a option to "call" for biometrics instead of fingerprint so that might work

Hyperion launcher is amazing. I love the app lock but still is a bit buggy.
