How do I Lock apps in an Iphone?

iOS does not come with a built-in feature to lock specific apps in September 2021. To implement app lockout on your iPhone, you can use a number of workarounds and third-party applications. Here are some techniques you can use:

Guided Access: A built-in iOS feature called Guided Access lets you limit access to just one app. Guided Access can be turned on by heading to "Settings" > "Accessibility" > "Guided Access." Open the relevant app, triple-click the home button (or side button on later iPhones without a home button), and select "Start" to activate guided access mode after it has been enabled. To prevent unauthorised access to other areas of your device, you can establish a passcode to end Guided Access.

Third-party apps are downloadable via the App Store.

that offer the ability to lock apps. With these apps, you may lock and safeguard specific iPhone apps using a passcode or biometric authentication. To view available alternatives, perform a search for "app lock" or "app locker" on the App Store.

Create a folder on your home screen and put the apps you wish to lock inside it to use the folder encryption feature. The folder's contents can then be encrypted using an iOS function that is built-in. To achieve this, long-press the folder, click "Edit Home Screen," hit the folder's name, and then select the option to encrypt the folder. To access the apps inside the folder, you'll need to utilise Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode.

Parental controls have restrictions: If you desire to limit

You can utilise the built-in Restrictions feature, which is now known as "Screen Time" in latest versions of iOS, to restrict access to select apps for a single user (such as a child). To restrict access to particular apps, you can create passcodes and restrictions that are exclusive to those apps. This can be done by going to "Settings" > "Screen Time" > "Content & Privacy Restrictions" > "Allowed Apps."Please be aware that these techniques can have restrictions, and future iOS versions might alter the features' availability. To further safeguard your security and privacy, use caution while utilising third-party apps and make sure they originate from reliable sources.
