App phone lock unlock problem

[Kandiell]

Ok so here is my situation: i just bought a brand new samsung galaxy s9 and set up google assistant on it. I want to set up a routine where when i say "lock my phone" it locks it. Now by default you cant do that without the help of an app.

So i downloaded apps that simply lock your phone when you click them.

My problem is this: i use voice commands or fingerprints to unlock my phone since i work on the road and want to go as hands-free as possible. These locking apps do not let me unlock my phone with fingerprints or voice recognition, ibstead always request a PIN. Is there any way around this? Or a better app?
Thank you.

Welcome to the fourms.
Depending on your phone modle, look it up your phone online and see how you can do it..

I think there may be a way to do that using Google Assistant.
Perhaps this may shed some light on it:
