automatically lock the phone a few minutes after the screen turns off
Isn’t the default behaviour of phones to lock as soon as the screen turns off?
Comment on How to protect against someone forcefully unlocking my phone and password manager with biometrics?

You can set your phone to do that, of course, but I prefer not to have to unlock mine when I’ve just used it.
Im not an android dev but I think the difference here is it’s a secure lock. Which means that encryption is engaged and requires the decryption string to unlock which means that biometrics are not asked for.
mine doesn’t do it if it goes off by “idling”. Only if i hit the button to turn it off.

This also seems nice. I’ll probably test this one as well. I like the lock after x amount of time feature. The pictures have max 15 minutes, so that might be too little, but maybe it’ll work
