Hi , i have an old huawei y6 that have the option to protect apps with password , so nobody can use the app without that password.
Somebody know others smartphones with the same option ?

Samsung has the Secure Folder, which should do the same thing. But in general, securing an app with a password shouldn't really be needed in most cases as long as you have a good screen lock for your phone -- unless you share your phone with someone else (which I wouldn't advise, if that person isn't completely trustworthy).

The secure folder on Sammy allows me to have another profile for apps that don't allow multi profiles on the same device. That's quite handy, also I can burn the folder if something in it misbehaves. It makes for a nice test sandbox. Also note that it can no longer be backed up to the Samsung cloud. That feature got killed off recently, don't know why. So if you burn the folder, it's truly gone bye-byes.
