2. How to set application passwords on Apple devices
The Apple iOS system itself does not provide the function of directly setting a password for a single application, but similar effects can be achieved through the following methods:
Method 1: Use the Screen Time feature
1. Open the "Settings" app and select "Screen Time"
2. Click "Set a passcode for Screen Time"
3. Set a four-digit password (it is recommended not to be the same as the unlock password)
4. Return to "Screen Time" and select "App Limits"
5. Click "Add Limit" and select the application to be encrypted
6. Set the time to 1 minute so that you need to enter the password every time you open the app
Method 2: Use guided access
1. Open the "Settings" app and enter "Accessibility"
2. Select "Guided Access" and turn it on
3. Set a guided access password
4. Open the app you want to lock and press the side button or Home button three times.
5. Start guided access so you need a password to exit the app
3. Setting differences between different iOS versions
| iOS version | Set path | Things to note |
|---|---|---|
| iOS 13-14 | Settings >Screen Time | Screen Time needs to be enabled first |
| iOS 15-16 | Settings > Screen Time > App Limits | Multiple application groups can be set up |
| iOS 17 | Settings > Screen Time > App Limits | Added application classification filter |
4. Things to note when setting application passwords
1. Be sure to remember the password after setting it. If you forget the password, you need to reset the device.
2. Banking and payment applications usually have their own password functions and do not require additional settings.
3. Screen Time passcodes work best with app limits
4. Regularly check application permission settings to ensure privacy security
5. Recommendation of alternatives
If you feel that the system’s built-in functions are not perfect enough, you can consider the following third-party applications:
| Application name | Features | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| AppLock | Fingerprint/face ID unlocking | 4.6 |
| Secure Folder | Create encrypted folder | 4.5 |
| Lockdown Pro | Lock apps in batches | 4.4 |
Through the above methods, you can effectively protect the privacy of applications on Apple devices and prevent others from accessing sensitive information at will. It is recommended to choose the appropriate protection method according to your own needs and update your password regularly to improve security.
