Screen Pinning

Use screen pinning to set your device to display only the screen for a specific application.

For example, if you are playing a game and you accidentally touch the Home navigation

key, the screen pinning feature prevents the active game app screen from being

minimized. You can also use this feature when you lend your device to another person to

make it harder for them to access more than one screen or application. For example, you

can lend your phone to somebody to make a phone call and pin the screen to the Phone

application so that the person can't easily use other apps such as Messaging or Email.

Screen pinning is not a security feature and does not fully prevent other users from unpinning a

screen and accessing your device. To protect your data, you should set up your device to

request a screen lock PIN, password, or pattern before someone can unpin the screen.

Home screen, tap .

Settings > Security > Screen pinning.

slider to enable or disable this additional security function.

A pattern, PIN, or password is not mandatory for screen pinning to work.
