Android Police••technology
Key Points:
- Google's upcoming Android 17 update is expected to introduce a native App Lock feature, allowing users to lock individual apps without relying on third-party solutions.
- App Lock will enhance privacy by showing only generic notification texts from locked apps, preventing sensitive information from appearing on the lock screen.
- The exact details of how notifications will display, such as whether app names and icons will be visible, remain unclear but are anticipated to follow patterns seen in existing app lockers.
- App Lock is unlikely to appear in the current Android 16 QPR3 beta, making Android 17 the probable version for its official debut.
- Further details about App Lock and Android 17 are expected with the release of the first developer preview, which has been delayed
