Google is supercharging Pixel security! Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3 introduces a native App Lock, finally moving beyond clunky third-party tools. Now, you can gatekeep sensitive apps—like banking or messages—with a secondary biometric barrier. Even if your phone is unlocked, prying eyes stay out. It’s a seamless, system-level upgrade designed to keep your private data strictly for your eyes only.
