iPhone: Lock apps - new restrictions for users

On the iPhone, you can set up a lock for apps according to your preference, which is only released by entering another code. This lock is particularly suitable for setting up a smartphone to be childproof. Furthermore, it is also useful for apps with sensitive data such as online banking or for internal company matters.

iPhone: Activate app lock - how to do it

The app lock on the iPhone is valid for all apps on the device. Entering the correct password unlocks each previously defined app and can not be varied for individual apps.

1. On the iPhone, first go to the "Settings" and navigate to "General" and further to "Restrictions".
2. Activate the function and directly create a code with which the apps can be unlocked later. Remember this password very well!
3. Now navigate again under the "Restrictions" and activate the lock now for all necessary apps.
4. But keep in mind that losing the code means that you can no longer unlock your own smartphone properly.
