How to enable device lock on mobile?

Rupeezy doesn't have a device-lock setting inside the app — it relies on your phone's own screen lock (PIN, pattern, fingerprint, or face unlock). In fact, app login is disabled until your phone has a lock set up, and the same lock powers the app-relock prompt shown when you switch back to it. You turn it on from your phone's own Settings app, not from within Rupeezy.

How do I turn on a screen lock on Android?

1. Open Settings — go to Security (some phones show this as Security & privacy or Lock screen).

2. Tap Screen lock — choose PIN, Pattern, Password, or a biometric option (fingerprint/face unlock) if your phone supports it.

3. Set it up and confirm — follow the on-screen steps to register your PIN/pattern/biometric.

Exact menu names vary by phone brand (Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, etc.) — look for Security or Lock screen in Settings if the steps above don't match exactly.

How do I turn on a screen lock on iPhone (iOS)?

1. Open Settings — go to Face ID & Passcode (or Touch ID & Passcode on older iPhones).

2. Tap Turn Passcode On — set a passcode.

3. Enable Face ID or Touch ID — turn on the toggles for unlocking your phone (and, on some models, for apps).

Things to keep in mind

  • A screen lock is what makes the app-relock prompt when you switch apps work — it uses your phone's biometric or PIN.
  • This is a general phone-security step we recommend as part of securing your Rupeezy account — it isn't a Rupeezy-specific setting, so Rupeezy support can't change or reset it for you. Use your phone maker's own support if you get stuck.
