Want to protect your privacy and prevent other people from accessing your apps on your Samsung Smart TV? In this article, we will explain how to lock apps on Samsung Smart TV easily and quickly.
Samsung Smart TVs are smart devices that allow you to enjoy a variety of online content and services like Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and more. However, you may not want anyone to use your apps and see your history, preferences or personal data.

How to lock apps with password on Samsung Smart TV
Follow these steps to lock apps with password on Samsung Smart TV.
Turn on your Samsung Smart TV and press the Home button on the remote control. Select the Settings option from the menu below. Enter the general section and then enter system administrator.

Once you’ve created a PIN or password, exit the menu to lock the app, and this time press the Home button again to go to the Apps section. Tap the Settings button (the cog in the top right corner). Go to the app you want to block and select Block. Enter the PIN you created earlier to complete your blocking. Repeat the process with other apps you want to block.
