"Lock this app" ????

Can someone tell me wat the "lock this app" feature does. I naturally assumed that it would do wat the "pin this app" feature does but when i click lock app the only thing that pops up is the lock icon. Lol i have no idea wat the use for "lock this app" is for.

What it does is lock the app so when you hit close all apps, it stays open

Man, that should have been super obvious but I didn't get it either.

I couldn't figure this out.  Now that I understand what "lock" does, it seems like these names should have been reversed.  Pin should prevent close, and Lock should prevent switching away.

After my last update on S10+, the phone is killing apps more quickly. Is there any way to keep more than one app locked so it's not terminated "to save battery"? 😞

Yeah Samsung produces broken Android implementations – yet at the same time prohibits installing custom system firmware; I'm never buying a Samsung phone ever again
