Set up SIM card lock
Your SIM card includes information like your phone number and
voice/data plans, which can be compromised if the SIM card is
placed into another device. To help protect it, you can create a
PIN that will lock access to the SIM card.

Pin windows
Pin windows allows you to pin an app to the screen and block
usageofallotherfunctionsofthephoneincludingcalling,
texting,andotherfrequentlyusedapps.Thisfeatureisvery
helpful if you want to lend your phone to another user, such as
a child, so that they can only use the pinned app. For example, if
you pin YouTube, it is the only function they will be able to use,
and all other functions of your phone are locked.
Whenyouwanttoreturntoregularusagemode,holdtheBack
andRecentAppsbuttonsatthesametimeforafewseconds.To
unpinanapp,youmayneedtheauthorizeduser’ssecurityPIN,
pattern, or password.
