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.

Still don’t let you boot other OSs, or sideload apps, or use third party browser engines outside the EU, or use third party SMD or phone apps.
It’s so asinine for them not to allow side-loading and third-party browser engines outside the EU.
It’s more difficult system administration just for them to maintain control.
Wow yet another feature android had like 4 years ago!
This looks like they’re announcing some sort of “adult” lubricant.
Cause the number 18?
And the color scheme and design.
Huh. My one+ lets me hide apps and lock the hidden drawer behind a code from 2020.

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.
Yeah fuck apple
sent from iOS
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.
They’re afraid of iPhones.
How is this different from the guided access mode?
Guided Access locks you into a single app.
This hides and prevents opening specific apps, the rest of the phone is still accessible. It’s much more convenient as something you would configure and keep on all the time.
This article does not describe the feature well. It prompts to open, not when trying to exit.
