App Lock not blocking notifications
I've got the Bitdefender App Lock set up to lock the "Messages" app on my Pixel 6 phone (the default app for SMS etc). The idea was that if my phone was snatched whilst unlocked, the thief couldn't receive SMS 2FA codes (as widely used by banks etc). However, this is undermined by the fact that when the phone is unlocked,…

App Lock won't allow me to lock Bitdefender App itself with Biometrics
The App Lock looks good, but I cannot use it to protect the Bitdefender App itself (it's not listed to select).

Am I missing something or is there a way…

Bitdefender for Android and Google Phone Transfer
This isn't a problem, it's more of a community service comment. So I got a new phone for Christmas (yay!) and used Google's system for transferring settings and apps from one Pixel to another.
