If you want to show someone something on your iPad but want peace of mind that they can’t get into certain apps, you can lock or hide the apps. Locking an app requires Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode to open it. Information inside a locked app won’t appear in other locations—for example, in CarPlay, notification previews, search, Siri suggestions, or your call history.
When you lock or hide an app on your device, it’s only locked or hidden on that device. The locked or hidden status of an app doesn’t sync with iCloud.
Note: Children under 13 in a Family Sharing group can’t lock or hide apps. Anyone aged 13 to 17 in a Family Sharing group can lock or hide or an app, but a parent or guardian in the family group can see that the app was downloaded and how much time it’s used, and Quick actions menu opens.
Tap Require Face ID (or Touch ID or Passcode).
Tap Hide and Require Face ID (or Touch ID or Passcode), authenticate using Face ID (or Touch ID or a passcode), then tap Hide App.
The app disappears from your Home Screen and moves to the Hidden folder at the bottom of App Library.
Tip: To view a list of your hidden apps, go to Settings Turn on Lock Screen features on iPad
