Keep Your iPhone Apps Private with Face ID Per App in iOS 18

Sharing your iPhone doesn’t have to mean sharing everything on it. With iOS 18, you can lock any app with Face ID, keeping your messages, social media, and private data off-limits to anyone but you.

Ever handed your iPhone to someone to make a call, and immediately felt a little uneasy? Maybe your nephew wants to play a game, or a friend wants to scroll through your vacation photos, but deep down, you’re hoping they don’t swipe too far. We all have apps, messages, and other personal content that we’d rather keep private.

Thankfully, iOS 18 makes it easier than ever to lock down your apps with Face ID, ensuring no one but you can access them.
