Please review the information and step by step instructions in the Apple Support article on setting passwords for apps and folders.



>>Some of the apps that come with iPhone can’t be locked—including Calculator, Camera, Clock, Contacts, Find My, Maps, Shortcuts, and Settings.


  1. Go to the Home Screen.
  2. Locate the app you want to lock.
  3. Touch and hold the app icon until the quick actions menu opens.
  4. Tap Require Face ID (or Touch ID or Passcode).
  5. Tap Require Face ID (or Touch ID or Passcode) again, then authenticate using Face ID (or Touch ID or a passcode).<<
