Thanks, now my sister won't look around my phone when she uses it to watch YouTube.
Don't want her to find my hidden treasures 😉

Can you control more settings while screen pin like volume and time. I know we can in iphone like if my kid is using YouTube there is a timer and certain volume I can set

In the beginning of your video you mentioned preventing someone from seeing inside your phone if they're making a call from your phone, will you please make a video explaining this from the actual phone app because once I pin my phone app I can't actually make a call unless I leave the actual phone app.

Hi Timmy, is this working with phone calls? I tried pinning "Phone" app but once pinned, it can dial the numbers but doesn't allow you to actually make the call. Upon tapping the call button it says "To unpin thid app, swipe up and hold."

Would appreciate your advice on this.

[tiaanswart]

Thank you. But how do you use the swipe up feature

[mrdaudlim]

Does it still working after restart the device?

[m.b.g.]

Hi Timmy,
Recently, everytime I want to delete an app a second one or even third icon appears on my screen. I can't uninstall them. Plus they move down to the line where I keep the same items on each page, such as phone, Google, camera, email, YouTube. Every time I try to remove the second or third duplicate icon it installs more? This is way over my pay grade! Lol I really appreciate any help you might be able to provide this 71 young grandmother will be appreciated.

I couldn't understand that guy, he went too fast plus what if your calculator doesn't have what his does? Or phone isn't new?
