Hi!
My flow running App Start block in some conditions. It works fine on my old phone (Samsung Galaxy A5 with Android 8). But on new phone (Samsung Galaxy M32 with Android 12) AppStart block does not start activity if device are locked at the time conditions are met. It start actitvity if device were unlocked at the time only.
Is it bug ore feature?

It depends on the app to be started, if it allows itself to be shown/started over the lock screen. At least that's how it's supposed to work, unless Google has made some undocumented changes to Android 12.
Ensure you've granted the "appear on top of other apps or parts of the screen" privilege.
