Any app lock solutions?

Any help getting an app lock by default on Samsung. I'm trying to lock all my apps because I don't trust only screen lock. Option.

What have you got on your phone that you need every single one of your apps locked down?  Have you had others access your phone with just your screen lock in the past?  Any secure app, such as banking apps, already have an app lock and you can set your email reader to require a log in or fingerprint every time you access it. Even travel and shopping apps require a login unless you set it to remember you. How inconvenienced do you want to be on a moment-to-moment basis?  Besides, app locks would be up to the app developer, not Samsung.

A close family member assessed my contact list and started texting them also read my messages, emails and used my payment services 😭 . They even accessed my private gallery. I don't trust nobody with my phone. Also screen lock alone is not enough.

How did this family member get access to your phone? Did they know your pin/password? Was it easy to guess? Did they wait for you to fall asleep and used your fingerprint to unlock? If they can get past your screen lock, they would be able to get past your app locks (as evidenced by being able to use your payment app). You have the secure folder available and also you can hide apps. As I said, locks for the apps themselves would be up to the app developers

They saw me enter my pin

So, you had the same pin for the screen lock and the payment app? I use a password and a biometric for my screen lock, biometrics for my secure apps, and absolutely no one is in my vicinity when I unlock my phone with the password, let alone close enough to see it. Also, if someone, related or not, used my payment app, I'm pressing charges.

Change passwords every month or so. Also kick your family member in the **bleep** and disown them.
