App lock bypassed by clearing RAM

I tried out the app lock feature on the mobile app, and I was able to easily bypass it.

I open the phone, try to open a locked app, and run into the first flaw. For a split second it shows the app before the lock-screen shows up. In some situations, it might be enough to get important information.

Now the main problem. I go back to the home screen, and clear all ram/close all apps. Now when I try to open the locked app again, the lock-screen doesn't show up.

I tried to fix the flaw by locking it from clearing. It worked, but I can just unlock it, and clear the ram again.

Currently, the app lock only protects against dummies.


I am using Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5g
