Locking phone

Is there a way to keep my iPhone locked so that no one can unlock it but me? I’ve had issues with people getting into my phone to look at messages. Also is there a way to say “message hidden” on the screen instead of displaying who it’s from?

Thank you

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

👉 and never share your passcode.


Change your Apple ID password. 

Create a strong password for your Apple ID, It is best if your password consists of eight or more characters and include upper and lowercase letters, and at least one number. You can also add extra characters and punctuation marks to make your password even stronger. 

Never provide your password, passcode, security questions, verification codes, recovery key or any other account security details to anyone else. Apple will never ask you for this information.
