How to lock a folder on iPhone

I would like to put certain apps and documents in one folder and lock it so I am the only one that can open it. Can I do that and if so how?

iPhone 6, iOS 12

iOS does not offer this feature, as it allows to lock your entire phone so that you are the only one that can open it.


An individual iOS app may offer this.
