Question

security/passcode/phone protection

Hi There,

I am wondering if you can help me? I am wanting to know how I can put a passcode on an individual app on my iPhone? I also would like to know if this can be applied to the settings app too?

My reason for this is I am wanting to protect the settings on my sons phone and place some parental controls on there to keep him safe? I have his location shared on find my phone app but every now and then I get notification that I have been removed from this?

I am wanting to know step by step how to prevent this from happening?

You cannot create a unique passcode for specific apps. But you can use Parental Control on your sons device.
