Verdict

The Xiaomi Redmi Y1 is a stylish smartphone loaded with great specifications inside out. You can save a good amount of songs, movies and videos as a massive storage is present under the hood. The addition of a front flash makes the device great for low light video calling. The two good quality cameras, at both ends, capture outstanding photos and record high-resolution videos. You can play heavy games as well as do multitasking without much lags as the powerful configuration comes to the fore. However, a better battery backup would have been a blessing in disguise for the users buying it.

Protect apps on Redmi Y1

: Download App Lock from the Google Play Store. When you first start the app, you will be prompted to set up an unlock pattern after which you need to provide an email ID for security and backup purposes.

: You will then be taken to the main screen of the app. Under the Privacy tab, scroll down to find a list of applications that you can lock. Tap on the app name that you want to lock. The first time you lock an app, you will be prompted to grant App Lock Usage data access.

: Press the back button to go back to the main menu of App Lock. Now, you can lock any app that you want by simply tapping on the lock icon near its name. At this point, if you try and open any locked application, App Lock will prompt you to enter the unlock pattern that you first created. To make the app use the fingerprint scanner for verification purposes, head over to the Protect tab and enable the Fingerprint lock option.

Now, whenever you open a locked application, you can either unlock it by simply verifying your fingerprint or by entering the unlock pattern. The fingerprints that you have registered for unlocking your device are the ones that will also work with App Lock.
