How can I setup the "Screen Pinning" feature?  I do not find it in Settings, where others have said to find it..

NOTE: I have had not significant problem with the Lollipop upgrade.

Unlerss this was a removed feature, most every result I found said to do the following, and I use an example that isnt the same screen as yours, but all the S4 instructionals I found list it in this same area.

I've looked hard for screen pinning on my S4 since the upgrade. It is not there. Snn5, I appreciate that link. It at least lets me know what pinning would look like if it were there. I've gone through the Security settings, and there's no option to turn on pinning. I've also searched the Settings using the new search field at the top of the screen, and nada.

I did an online search for "android lollipop features missing on samsung" and found messages like this and this, suggesting that features including screen pinning, guest mode, user mode, and the flashlight toggle, user switching, and battery percentage in the notification bar are absent. These specific items are missing in my experience as well. It may be Samsung (allowing these only in newer phones, i.e., compelling us to buy new devices if we want this stuff). It may be Verizon (just because they're Verizon; but that second link above concerns an AT&T S4). But from what I've seen in a day's looking around, the Verizon S4 version of Lollipop is significantly different from what standard Lollipop should be, WRT such features.
