Hello.

My specs: Android 13, One UI Core 5.1, Security Patch Level April 1, 2023, BD Mobile Security 3.3.206.2258

Don't have any issues with the App Lock feature, works as it should.

You better contact Bitdefender Consumer Support by chat, telephone or e-mail:

Kindly try uninstalling and reinstalling the bitdefender application and then allow all the permission bitdefender is asking to setup app lock on your android device.

Hello,

The Android OS does not allow apps to be placed on top of Settings.

This limitation was introduced as a security measure to prevent malicious screen locker apps from blocking the user from uninstalling them.
