# App Lock

App Lock serves as a privacy shield for your Cwallet application on your local device.

It enhances your security by automatically locking the screen when the app is closed or runs in the background. This ensures that even if you leave your phone unlocked or lend it to someone, they cannot open Cwallet to view your balance or activity without your PIN or Biometric authentication.
