There are certain applications in our phones that we do not want others to use. When one has kids at home who love using your phone, it is a safe practice to setup locks for applications as phone lock/unlock pin is not enough. App lock feature in ColorOS lets you unlock all or specific applications so that when the app is opened, you are prompted for unlock password. We have compiled a few guides for Oppo A57. Head to this page to see the full list of guides.
If you are using newer Oppo or Realme phone running ColorOS 6, head to this new guide.
You can access our full list of guides for newer Oppo ColorOS 5.2 (Android 8.1) in this page. You can also access our recommended smartphone list to get list of best smartphones that you can buy.
