Make locking the screen easier

[Rob Verhoeff]

@Rob-Kelley There’s a new feature on its way (now in test in beta). Just two little clicks to lock and only one click to unlock.

good news, thanks for the update.

It's already live in update 4.3.4
The button has been moved up in the menu or long press the menu button itself (while navigating) to lock the screen.

stupid question from me but how to onlock ?

@Bouke-Ent
When locked a padlock icon will appear on the screen, tap that to unlock.

@Corjan-Meijerink Excellent work, Corjan. Thank you.
I knew you could make it happen.

Ok, just my 2 cents on this....
I would love to be able to lock the screen with menu (3 dots) and all the other buttons above it not taking room on the screen. Is that too much to ask for? Maybe a tripple tap or whatever other means are there. There is not that much room on the phone screen to begin with.

@Lenny-O Long press the 3 dots of the navigation menu will lock the screen.

@Nick-Carthew You are correct, Nick! But it retains all those circles on the screen

@Lenny-O Yes, sorry Lenny. I fully realised the meaning of your question after I posted. You make a valid point.
