The functionality that you describe is not natively supported by iOS/iPadOS. As iPhone and iPad are not intended to be “shared”, this should not be a problem.


If your devices are properly secured with a Passcode - and the Passcode is only known to you - you need have no concern of unauthorised use of your devices.
