  12. If I am on the hidden apps page and I lock my device, after unlocking it open

    If I am on the hidden apps page and lock my device, then on unlocking it, it resumes from that hidden apps page itself. It should either resume the doc icon page or home page as they are supposed to be hidden apps. What in the case of accidental unlock infront of anyone whom we dont want to show our hidden apps?
