  1. App Lock is best app on Play store and used by everyone. i am also use this app from last 1 year many times app was not working these steps will be helpful for me thanks hadharm

      • Once I make it “hide from home screen” I’m unable to access the app with any shortcuts (via dialer/browser). I’m not getting any error when I access any locked app. It simply opens as if it’s not locked. Randomly it works only for settings. I’m more interested in blocking the Explorer.

  2. I am using Marshmallow on my Android ans when I go to security and try to see Apps with usage access I cant see Applock there so I am not able to activate it, any solutions please

    • Hi Suraj, while on the app with usage access page look top right and tap on the three dots menu, then tap on show system. Now Applock should display and you can do what is expected.
