Can I put Face ID on my messages app?

I would like to lock my messages app to require Face ID, similar to how it is with safari after the update. Is this possible and if not currently could you look into integrating it next update?

iPad, iPadOS 16

Your device is locked/unlocked, not individual apps.

Individual apps can absolutely be locked with face recognition. I second the motion for Apple to add this feature to iMessage. I’ve set my iPhone down before and someone picked it up before the screen lock activated. It would be nice to be able to have an extra lock on all communication apps.
