Apple iOS 18 new features exposed: support for Face ID app lock

IT House News on June 9, according to Macrumors, multiple people familiar with the matter revealed that the upcoming iOS 18 will usher in a new security feature that allows users to lock individual apps.

iOS 18 introduces the app lock feature

This feature will support users to lock their own iPhone apps, including:

1. Mail
2. Messages
3. Memos
4. Phone
5. Photos
6. Browser
7. Settings

Unlocking method

Locked apps need to be unlocked through Face ID, Touch ID or device password.

Applicability

It is unclear whether this feature applies to third-party apps downloaded from the App Store.

Other locking methods

Previously, iOS has allowed users to lock some content, such as:

• Notes in Notes
• "Recently Deleted" and "Hidden" albums in the Photos app

Simplified operations

In the past, users needed to lock apps using features such as "Screen Time" or "Shortcut Commands." iOS 18 will make this easier, allowing users to individually lock apps even when their phone is unlocked.

Release Date

Apple will hold the WWDC24 conference at 1 am on June 11th, Beijing time, when the iOS 18 system will be officially released.
