How to pin and unpin apps on your screen on Android 11

Today i'm going to show you how pin and unpin apps on your screen on Android 11
This can be useful if your kids are playing games or watching films on your phone
and you don't want them to have access to anything else.
First you will need to enable App pinning so go to settings.
Then tap on Security
Scroll up and tap on "Advanced"
Scroll up
Then tap on "App pinning"
Enable "App pinning"
Then tap ok
Now enable "Ask for unlock pattern before unpinning"
By enabling this feature your screen will only be unpinned using your unlock pattern.
Now let's try it, so select the app you want to pin, let's say Netflix
Tap and hold the bottom of the app while dragging it up
Now tap on the Netflix icon on top of the Netflix app.
Then tap Pin.
Now Netflix is pinned on my screen
As you can see i can no longer minimise Netflix on my phone.
Now to unpin Netflix tap and hold the bottom of the screen while dragging it up.
Then release your hold.
Now scroll up and unlock your phone.
Now the screen is unpinned
i can now minimize Netflix.

I lovehate the number of secret menus in my android device. I would bother myself to sit down and learn how to utilize the OS to it's full protentional but I'd be two versions behind by the time I completed my education.

Yeah sure the pin app makes it full screen but it doesnt stop someone from two finger releasing it. Even with the Pin App setting ask for pin on. Works on one android and not the other exactly the same devices. Bad coding.

I'm using Android 11 on a Galaxy S10, and I don't see any of the settings screens you have. There is no "Security" menu, for example. And there is no settings for any "pinning" available when I search the entirety of the settings.

If only the instructions for unpin told me which way to swipe
