Looking For An Android App That Locks Phone Settings

[Lucian Andries]

Hello!

 

I need an app that Locks the phone's settings the way I set them. So the "dumb" person cannot accidentally turn off/on a specific setting from the swipe down menu (wifi, data, gps, bluetooth, sound, etc).

Also block the user from uninstalling/installing any app on their own. And not remove/move app shortcuts from the home screen.

 

Is there such an app? I searched the Play Store, only to find nothing even remotely close to what I need,

The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S7 with Android 8, btw.

Yeah no... I still want them to use THEIR phones.

I only need it to not let them enable/disable the phone's settings from the swipe down menu. Oh, and not delete/move the app shortcuts from the home screen.

 

What you said, is totally different.

On lots of devices most of this can be done with parental controls. What kind of phone is it?

Hey. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S7 with Android 8.

 

Parental Controls? But for that I need to enable Kids Mode, right? And it looks dumb... Besides, will it do the things I need? All of them?

I'm not particularly familiar with Android 8 but thats at least where I would start looking. All the things yoy want to block seem fairly normal so I wouldn't be suprised if parental controls covers all fo them

Hmm, ok I'll try to do what you suggested and see what happens.

I'm not familial at all with parental controls. Hope I won't screw anything up......

Does anyone know a different method?
