### Additional Context

I first noticed this issue about a month or two ago. The "Lock app" feature has worked flawlessly for years before this point with a simple pattern lock enabled on my phone.

Things I've tried:
Changing my phone's screen lock.
Deleting cache and storage.
Reinstalling app.
Rebooting phone.

### Build Version

### What server are you connecting to?

### Environment Details

Nothing Phone 2
Nothing OS 4.0
Android 16

### Issue Tracking Info

- [x] I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.
