Screen pinning
Use screen pinning to set your device to display only the screen for a specific
application. For example, if you are playing a game and you accidentally touch the
Home navigation key, the screen pinning feature prevents the active game app screen
from being minimised. You can also use this feature when you lend your device to
another person to make it harder for them to access more than one application. For
example, you can lend your device to somebody to take a photo and pin the screen
to the Camera application so that the person can't easily use other apps such as
Email.
Screen pinning is not a security feature and does not fully prevent other users from unpinning a
screen and accessing your device. To protect your data, you should set up your device to
request a screen lock PIN, password or pattern before someone can unpin the screen.
To enable or disable screen pinning
1 From your Home screen, tap .
2 Find and tap Settings > Lock screen & security > Screen pinning.
3 Tap the slider to enable or disable the function.
4 If you have enabled Screen pinning, you can tap the Require unlock pattern for
unpinning slider to enable or disable this additional security function, as
desired.
A pattern, PIN or password is not mandatory for screen pinning to work.
