Locking Apps with Face or Touch ID on iOS 18

Question

What are the steps to lock apps that utilize Face ID or Touch ID on the iOS 18 device?

Answer 1

In iOS 18, to disable an app with Face or Touch ID, press and hold the icon, and then choose the option 'Lock Aggressively’. You may also want to hide the app, in which case it will become locked and moved to a secure hidden app folder.

Thank you! The fact I can setup passcodes for apps now is amazing! Extra security

If the locking curtain apps is true then that’s pretty cool!

Could someone please let me know if, after updating to iOS 18, you’re still able to access the settings to modify Face ID? I can no longer seem to change mine, so any assistance would be appreciated. Otherwise, they may have moved the settings somewhere else. Thank you.
