Why does it turn off itself? Thereby exposing me unaware. Y'all should work on it. I can't leave my phone unprotected with the hope that it's locked. 😐

Firstly the one who is going to install I would say that at first it seems good and perfect but about one day it will become unusual like sometimes when I open the app it unlocks without password and this is no means like when I open my app it unlocks without lock, so it's badd not satisfied 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 sorry but plz improve your app
