App Settings

A friendly tour of everything you can configure in Lova — what each setting does and where to find it.

How to Open Settings

Tap the person icon or gear icon in the top-right corner of the home screen. That opens your personal settings menu.

ℹ️

Everything is optional

Lova works perfectly with default settings. Come back to this menu whenever you want to customise something.
🔒

Privacy & Security

App Lock (PIN)

Set a 4-6 digit code so only you can open Lova.

Biometric Unlock

Use Face ID or fingerprint instead of typing your PIN every time.

Auto-Lock

Choose how long before Lova locks itself when you're not using it (immediately, 1 minute, 5 minutes).

Privacy Screen

Blurs the app preview in your phone's task switcher so no one glimpses your data over your shoulder.
