How to Lock Apps on iPhone with Face ID, Touch ID or Passcode on iOS 16! (New Method 2023)
If you ever wanted to lock individual apps on your iPhone, here's how! This new method is much better than the previous one we shared on the channel in 2021, but it requires iOS 16.4 or later.
So in this tutorial, we show how to lock applications through the Shortcuts app with the new "Lock Screen" action and some additional if/then actions. On the surface, this will force the apps to go to the lockscreen and require a passcode or Face ID authentication. And to take it a step further, it can also detect when you're using your phone so only other people get locked out. Kinda. You'll see in the video. Enjoy!

Dear Brandon, your technical knowledge, skills and the way you articulate them so concise which makes it ever so easier for me to understand given my thought processes and memory are ever so erratic and fact that I now panic with constant upgrades of technology due to cocktail of medication I take for reactive arthritis and other medical conditions. Thanks ever so much, I ever so grateful. Have a great day and further growth with your channel. It deserves multiple millions subscribers especially given all the other useless channels reach millions which is beyond my comprehension, maybe I am from old school.

@tstroope1 2 часа назад

do you know if there is a way to 'lock' an app open - so it can not be closed EVER, but remains open and running? For example if you have a milage tracker for business use, or if you have a an app that is used with your automobile as a key for the car. I need to keep these apps always open.

@yavorpetrakiev6671 Год назад

Please do these kind of iphone tricks more often! It's really cool to see what the phone can do even when I don't need this right now. Now I know I can lock an app if I wanted to.

@hiraviagrawal Год назад

Excellent tutorial Brandon. I so wanted to have this for such a long time but doing it through screen time was very painful. I don't know why apple is not putting it iOS as a feature?

Does the first method continue to work even if someone let's say invokes your photo library from within another app? Presuming they can open an app that allows them to import photos to where IOS allows you to view all your photos without opening the actual photos app.

@MartinKapal Год назад

If you want the other person to use only one app and prevent snooping, you can use the “Guided access” accessibility feature. You can enable it in Settings - Accessibility - Guided Access and set a passcode to activate/deactivate it. Then, start an app and press the side button three times and you’ll be in the guided access mode. To exit, press the side button three times again and enter the same passcode.

@laincoubert7236 Год назад

that's my thought exactly! and you can create an automation to turn it on as well. i set up a mode (similar to do not disturb or driving) that triggers an automation in shortcuts that turns on guided access. that's for those who want to use the triple press for something else or if the button's hard to press.

@matthewhuber8697 Год назад

Yes! I love guided access. I have noticed sometimes it’s buggy, but 95% of the time it’s perfect

firstly i thought it was it locks apps when you not use example 1 minute and it not goes to lockscreen but after i saw that its bit meh to me, i do not want go lockscreen before i enter x app. Some apps offers use face id example when not use app x minute or you open app and it ask use face ID. hopefully apple bring some setting where you can set all apps use face id before open app or use it for some apps. but thanks for video but i wished it was better method.

@Rheivax Год назад

- Updated for the lock only if not at home as suggested by @Corentin Heinix I good trick if you don't want to use the WiFi names (I have multiple at home because of the repeater) is to use Weather app to get your location and compare it to your address. This also helps in case you're on your mobile network (say the WiFi is down for whatever reason). So add these steps in your automation: [the names in brackets] are the system variables - Get current weather at [Current Location] - Get [Location] from [Weather Conditions] (to select this, search for Weather and select "Get Details of Weather Conditions" and then select "Location" - Get distance from [Insert your address here] to [Location] - If [Distance] [is greater than] [0.3] --- Lock the screen -Otherwise -End If

@corentinheinix8252 Год назад

You can get the location directly and it’s distance is less else or distance is more Good improvement idea

@Rheivax Год назад

@@corentinheinix8252 good point, now that I think of it it’s not making sense as it’s only locking in the house 😅. But that’s the logic anyway, your suggestion makes sense and you’d just need to add the Lock the Screen in the Otherwise part.

@RandomBogey Год назад

6:03 That’s why I keep Guided Access and “Accessibility Shortcut” enabled. If I ever hand my phone to someone, like a cashier at a store so they can read a code or to show someone a picture, I just triple tap the power button and the phone (usually) remembers the last settings I used (every option unticked so the screen is completely unchangeable) and it doesn’t require any other input. Then, when I hand it to them, I tell them the screen is locked so they don’t have to worry about accidentally swiping away or locking it and they don’t have to palm it like a fragile little antique piece of glass while trying not to touch the screen or buttons. When they hand it back, double tap the power button, Face ID unlocks it, and it’s back to normal.

@adegbenroagoro5180 Год назад

I do the same. However I’ve also been using the screen time and automation tips since they were available.

@carsonnguyen4423 3 месяца назад

Can you please show a video or walk us through doing your technique? Reason I ask is because when I triple click it shows the guided start but anyone can click on the “cancel” part and gain access at that point

@RandomBogey 3 месяца назад

@@carsonnguyen4423 Not sure what you mean exactly. If guided access comes up when you triple click the sleep/wake button, tap on “options” in the bottom left corner, select how much access you want (untick everything if you want it fully locked down), tap “done,” hit “start” in the top right corner and it should ask you to create a passcode (I typically do “000000” because it’s simply and I’m not too worried about security if I’m just briefly handing it to someone). Once you verify the passcode, then it should start guided access and the phone screen will be locked down. Then, to end guided access, either double tap the sleep/wake button to use Face ID, or triple tap sleep/wake to enter the passcode.
