Protecting your privacy on iOS devices has become even easier with the introduction of built-in Face ID and Touch ID lock features in iOS 18. Now, you can secure any app on your iPhone with just a few simple steps.
Whether you share your iPhone with others or simply want to keep your personal information safe from prying eyes, locking apps behind Face ID in iOS 18 is a valuable tool. Here’s how you can do it:
- Long-press on the app icon you want to secure.
- Choose the option to Require Face ID.
After selecting this option, you can further customize the level of security by choosing between Require Face ID or Hide and Require Face ID. The latter option hides the app completely from view, making it accessible only through the Hidden folder in the App Library.
By enabling this feature, you can prevent the app from appearing on your home screen or receiving notifications, ensuring maximum privacy for your sensitive information.
If you ever need to revert to the original settings or unhide the app, simply long-press the app icon again and make the necessary adjustments.
iOS 18 continues to enhance user privacy and security, giving you more control over how you protect your personal data. Take advantage of these features to customize your app settings and safeguard your information from unauthorized access.
