How to restrict usage with a password.

I am wondering how to put restrictions on apps which cannot be bypassed without a password. E. g. once games have been used for one hour the app limit kicks into affect and restricts use of games unless one knows a password. I know a password can be used to lock the settings, but can it be used to lock an app?

iPhone 6, iOS 12

Is there any way to put a password lock on a specific app? is there any way to put a password lock on a specific app on my iPhone and iPads? My niece loves to sneak behind my back and watch bad content on YouTube and I need it to stop. I would like to find out if there is any way to prohibit her from opening the app with a password. I don not want to put any parental locks, screen limits, etc. on my devises because there are apps she is free to use on my devices. I just need her to stop using YouTube while not restricting myself.

Password settings for App Store are in unobtainable location I had restrictions on before the iOS 12 update and afterwards the restrictions were merged with the new screen time feature. Now when I try to change the password settings for the app store it tells me to go to the restrictions section of settings, which no longer exists. I have searched in the content restrictions of screen time but have not found any app store password settings.

Can app store demand password every time anyone download an app, even we re-download the deleted app? Can app store demand password every time anyone download an app, even when we re-download the deleted app? I don’t want anyone to re-download my deleted apps on my phone without my permission. Apple, please enable the password requirement to prevent annoying apps being re-downloaded on my devices.

You need to set up family sharing that then use Screen Time restrictions.
