Settings If you use Face ID as the App Lock unlock method, the Swing Gesture Sensor will provide further security protection when you are using the app. In a well-lit environment, if another face is detected, the app will be locked and notifications received by the app will be hidden. You will need to unlock the app again with a password or your face to re-enter it. Enable App Lock Go to Settings > Security > App Lock > Enable, set the App Lock password and select the apps to lock. If you have enabled face or fingerprint unlock, you can link App Lock with a face ID or fingerprint ID as prompted. Enable AI Information Protection If you have enabled App Lock and set Face Recognition as the app unlock method, the Swing Gesture Sensor will provide further security protection when you are using the app. If another face is detected, such as when someone else is looking at your screen or using your device, the app will be locked, and notifications received by the app will be hidden. You will not be able to unlock the app again with your own face, and only a password will work in this case.
