How do you put a fingerprint lock on a picture?

Published in Fingerprint Security 2 mins read

You can put a fingerprint lock on a picture by locking the entire album where the picture is stored. Here's how:

Locking Albums with Fingerprint on Samsung Devices

Based on the provided reference (a YouTube video titled "Lock Your Samsung Gallery Pics With Fingerprint!"), here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Open the Gallery App: Start by opening the Gallery app on your Samsung device.

  2. Navigate to Albums: Go to the "Albums" section.

  3. Select an Album: Choose the specific album containing the picture you want to protect. For example, the reference mentions selecting the "camera album".

  4. Long Press: Long press on the selected album to select it.

  5. Access More Options: Tap on the three dots (usually located at the top right or bottom of the screen) to access more options.

  6. Choose "Lock Album": Select "Lock album" from the menu. This will prompt you to set up the fingerprint lock if not already set up, or use your existing fingerprint to lock the album.

  7. Verification: Once locked, you will need to use fingerprint verification to access the album.

    Note: The entire album is locked, not individual photos. Any picture within that locked album will require fingerprint verification to be viewed.

  • The lock function will use the fingerprint already registered to your Samsung device.

Why Lock Albums instead of Pictures?

  • Locking individual pictures can be tedious.
  • Album locks offer a convenient and effective way to secure multiple images quickly.
  • This method leverages the existing security features on your device.
