iOS 18 will let you hide and lock apps | TechCrunch
techcrunch.com
Apple is introducing new feature to allow users to lock or hide apps in iOS 18, the company announced at its annual WWDC event on Monday.

Users will be able to lock an app when they hand over their phone to do things like show someone a picture or let them play a game. When an app is locked, if someone tries to tap the phone, they will be required to authenticate using Face ID, Touch ID or a passcode.

While the app lock feature is enabled, information from inside the app won’t appear in other places, like search and notifications. Users can also hide an app that they don’t want others to know is installed. The hidden apps appear in a hidden, locked folder.

      If Apple does a bad thing, bad Apple, if Apple does a good thing, bad Apple, it is always this way, especially on Lemmy, sometimes in a serious way, sometimes not.

        This is very accurate. I daily an iPhone, MacBook and Windows PC. I’ll be critical of all and appreciate the strengths of each but by god would Lemmy light all 3 on fire given the chance.
