Tap the icon, look at the phone, and Face ID authorizes you. Anyone who picks up your phone can see the app is installed \u2014 they just can\u2019t access its content without your face, your fingerprint, or your device passcode.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-md text-primary\">Hiding goes one step farther \u2014 the icon disappears from the home screen, from Spotlight search, and even from the app library. The app moves to a new, Face ID-protected \u201cHidden\u201d folder. In other words, locking keeps data private, while hiding keeps the entire app out of sight unless you know exactly where to look.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-lock-an-app-on-your-iphone\" class=\"heading-xl text-primary\">How to lock an app on your iPhone<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"leading-normal List_list__BljM0 List_ol__Aykkt\">\n \t<li class=\"ListItem_item__ZgGQo list-item mb-2\">\n<p class=\"body-md text-primary\">Touch and hold the app icon until the quick-actions menu appears.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li class=\"ListItem_item__ZgGQo list-item mb-2\">\n<p class=\"body-md text-primary\">Tap <b>\u201cRequire Face ID.\u201d<\/b> (On older hardware, the wording might differ: <b>\u201cRequire Touch ID\u201d<\/b> or <b>\u201cRequire passcode.\u201d<\/b>)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li class=\"ListItem_item__ZgGQo list-item mb-2\">\n<p class=\"body-md text-primary\">Authenticate once.

NordPass solves that problem by encrypting every password locally before syncing. After a single Face ID check, NordPass autofills your login with a 30-character password \u2014 no need to reuse or remember anything. Passkeys created on a Mac land on your iPhone in seconds. Secure Notes protect passport numbers or alarm PINs, and the built-in Breach Scanner alerts you if any saved email address appears in a public leak.
