I just gave up a 4.5 year old Blackberry Key 2 for a 13 and I miss several features.
there was a BB ”Locker” app/ native feature, where you could store files, photos, and apps (banking) under a separated & unique password I doesn’t look like there is a similar function on the iphone?
iPhone 13
If you are experiencing any difficulty with third-party apps or a specific website then please contact the app developer or site publisher/host directly. Here is how
Hi!
No, unfortunately, Apple didn’t create a password feature on an iPhone app. However there is one method that doesn’t even require third-party apps or websites. In fact, Apple has created a pre-installed app on each of its devices: Shortcuts. This app allows you to create quick commands to control your device. I created a quick command for you to protect an app of your choice on your iPhone. Here is the download link: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/19e3b21dc2cd496b95664687889662ee. All you have to do is open the link and press the "Get" button below. After you do this, the Shortcuts app will open and you will need to press "Add" at the bottom. At this point press on the three dots next to the name "Password" and the icon of a white cube. Now a screen will open. You have to put the password you want instead of the default one that I put, "1234", in the box with the words "If" flanked by two divergent arrows. Immediately after you have to press on "App" next to "Open" and choose the app you want to open if the password is correct. Now the final part is missing: search the internet or take a screenshot of the app icon you want to open and save it to Photos. Now go back to Shortcuts, open the quick command "Password" if you closed it and press the share key at the bottom (the one with a square and an arrow). Now go down and press "Add to Home Screen". At this point enter the app name instead of "Password" and press on the icon of the next white cube (the one below). Now press "Choose photo", select the app icon, center it in the square and press "Choose" at the bottom. Then press "Add" at the top. The last thing you need to do is go to the Home screen, search for the location of the original app you want to enter the password, press on long press, press on "Remove app" and press on the blue "Remove from Home screen". Finally, locate the quick command on the Home screen and move it wherever you want.
I hope I helped you and I hope you enjoy your new iPhone 13!
A second internal "Locker" is a pointless feature with no real purpose except to confirm the underlying product is not secure. In a properly designed system it should not be needed. Unlike the Android-based BlackBerry, Apple designed their product to be secure from end to end without any gimmicks. You will remember that even the combined resources of US Intelligence and Law Enforcement agencies have been unable to gain access to Apple devices used by terror and other criminal suspects. They can't even get past the first passphrase.
Being realistic about it, a second partition with its own password is only as good as the password and the owner's reluctance to disclose. Government agencies will generally put the owner in a small room with barred windows and wait. Less law-abiding interrogators may resort to more physical methods, and I can pretty much guarantee if the pain and discomfort make you reveal the first of your BlackBerry passwords, the second will follow not long after.

The one area where you can have protected data is the Notes app. You can create password protected notes.
But the whole philosophy of iOS is that it is a personal device, so the only needed protection is a secure way to assure only the rightful owner can access anything on the phone, and it does that with a passcode that will lock the phone after a small number of guesses (and optionally erase the phone) and FaceID/TouchID.
Well, the problem is that the app you are trying to protect is still on the phone in the App Library, and security by obscurity is not strong protection.
