password-protect the Files app

Last year, chrisg_01 responded to a question. (See attachment below)

When I went to set up screen time restrictions, the Files app was not available to select.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

The answer has not changed.


You can not password protect the files app, or any individual app. The developer of the app itself would have to build that functionality into the app.


Password protect your phone and don't let people you don't trust use it.
