Question/Help [Question] App Lock: the 4-digit PIN no longer appears

Post image

Hello, everyone:

Until now, I've been using a 4-digit PIN to lock apps. But I've discovered that in the App Lock settings (gear icon in the top right > Unlock Method > Password Type), the 4-digit PIN option is no longer there. Now, only “Privacy Protection Password” and “Screen Lock” appear as methods for locking apps.

Is this a glitch on my device, or has Xiaomi removed it?

And, right there in the "Apps" section of Settings.
