Method 1: Use App Passwords

App passwords are a great way to secure your apps without using Touch ID or Face ID. With app passwords, you can set a password for an individual app, which will be used to log in to that app instead of using your Apple ID credentials. This is especially useful if you want to keep certain apps hidden from others on your device.

1. Open the Settings app on your iOS device.
2. Tap on Passwords & Security.
3. Scroll down and tap on App Passwords.
4. Tap on Create Password.
5. Select the app you want to create a password for.
6. Enter a password that you will use to log in to the app.
7. Repeat the process for any other apps you want to secure with an app password.

Once you’ve created your app passwords, you can use them to log in to your apps by tapping on Log In with Apple ID and Password at the login screen. Simply enter the app password you created and you should be able to access the app without using your Apple ID credentials.

Real-Life Example:

Let’s say you have a banking app that you want to keep hidden from others on your device. You can create an app password for this app and use it to log in instead of using your Apple ID credentials. This way, even if someone gains access to your device, they won’t be able to see your bank account information without the app password.

Method 2: Use App Locks

App locks are another great way to secure your apps and keep them hidden from others on your device. With app locks, you can set a passcode or Touch ID/Face ID authentication to unlock an app. This is especially useful if you want to keep certain apps locked away until you need them.

1. Open the Settings app on your iOS device.
2. Tap on Passwords & Security.
3. Scroll down and tap on App Lock.
4. Select the app you want to lock.
5. Set a passcode or Touch ID/Face ID authentication for the app.
6. Repeat the process for any other apps you want to lock away.

Once you’ve set up your app locks, you will need to enter the passcode or use Touch ID/Face ID authentication to unlock the app. This is a great way to keep your sensitive information hidden from others on your device.

Real-Life Example:

Let’s say you have a work-related app that you want to keep hidden from others on your device. You can set up an app lock for this app and use Touch ID/Face ID authentication to unlock it. This way, even if someone gains access to your device, they won’t be able to see your work-related information without using your fingerprint or face.

Method 3: Use Hidden Apps

Hidden apps are a great way to keep certain apps off the home screen and out of sight. With hidden apps, you can hide an app from the home screen so that it is only accessible through the Settings app.

1. Open the Settings app on your iOS device.
2. Tap on General.
3. Scroll down and tap on Hidden Apps.
