how's it going everybody you're watching
Animalia tag so as you know apple
doesn't officially allow us to lock
individual apps on your iPhone or on our
iPad with a passcode so let's say every
time I open Instagram or messages or
photos it will have a pop-up saying put
your passcode to access that app this is
a feature that we've always wanted for
so long and now I have finally found a
way I have found a workaround that you
can actually have that can actually
enable that feature the best part you
only need an iOS device running iOS 12
or later so it doesn't even need to be
so updated so iOS well or later and even
better we don't need to download
absolutely anything the giant broken or
anything like that because everything
we're gonna do is within the Settings
app so it's super easy let's go ahead
and begin let me show you how to do it
okay so first thing we're gonna open the
Settings app as I mentioned and then
we're gonna scroll down to screen time
that's the feature you're gonna use to
individually lock apps so open screen
time then turn on screen time and then
continue and then this is my iPhone so
not my child's phone this is my iPhone
and then we're gonna scroll down a bit
and use screen time passcode we're gonna
just set the fast code we're gonna need
in order to access those apps are gonna
lock okay so use the screen find
passcode so set screen time passcode
like whatever
so it's four digits so I'm just created
one randomly you know this is where the
magic happens we're gonna go here for
app limit so we're gonna set time limits
for apps okay we're gonna do I'm gonna
explain that as I go so click on app
limits and then add a limit all right
and now we're gonna select the apps that
we actually want to long to individually
lock so let's go for social media for
example let's select for example
Instagram snapchat and then yeah that's
about it and then let's say for
creativity right here I'm gonna enable
photos and YouTube studio because I
don't want anyone messing around with
that okay so next so I have selected
four apps those are the apps right here
and then I'm gonna select a time limit
so I'm gonna select as low as possible
so for example one minute
that means that every single day because
I have sat here for every day okay I
thought at the top here so every single
day my phone will only allow me to use
those apps without putting a passcode
for one minute after that minute so
let's say everytime I wake up I use it
for a minute and that's it they're there
long now that means that every time I
open the app for now on they will ask
for that passcode that we have created
so how cool is that so one minute block
at end of limit of course this has to be
on so after that minute it's gonna block
my limit so then I have to put my
passcode that's what we want so it add
right here so then I have it right here
one minute every day for those four apps
Instagram snapchat YouTube studio and
photos it's on already so as you guys
can see my Photos app right here look at
that icon has the that screen time on
icon and it is greyed out meaning that I
can't use it anymore unless I put my
passcode same story with Instagram same
story with YouTube studio and then
snapchat is buried somewhere around
there so it doesn't matter but it's the
same story okay so let's check it out so
if I open for example Instagram right
here it already tells me you've reached
your limit on Instagram so then I can
say if I say okay is gonna come back
okay so if I say that's four more time
then I can have another minute or it can
enter my screen time passcode and right
here this is the feature so even if
let's say a friend a girlfriend a wife
or husband has that first train passcode
they may not have this one you can set
different passcode so that's super cool
okay so then inter screen time passcode
and then I'm gonna type that one that we
used before
and as you can see I can allow for 50
minutes for an hour or all day this is
up to you you do what you want let's say
for 15 minutes so then it's gonna flip
it and then I can go ahead and use
Instagram normally so then that's how it
works guys this super cool same sorry
for any other app that you have allowed
that's how it works it's awesome
a few more important things before we
wrap it up unfortunately you cannot lock
the phone app that's the only
application you cannot lock at all maybe
for security reasons or something like
that
can't passcode lock the phone app that's
the only one you can actually lock right
here if you want messages FaceTime or
anything like that you can lock
absolutely anything but not the phone
app if you want to if you want to
actually lock the message app you have
to come here to this always allowed and
then disallow this because in theory
messages are always on so they are
always allowed so you cannot lock them
but if you just remove them from here so
if you just go ahead and tap here and
remove then we can go ahead and do the
exact same process of going to a
Plymouth's and then lock in messages as
well just keep in mind that if you lock
the message app you will not be able to
send or receive my messages when they
are locked from this iPhone or from any
other iPad or other device that is
connected via iCloud with it okay it
locks not only the phone but it locks
other computers or their devices as well
so keep that in mind and another thing
that's the only down thing about this
process is that while the phone while
the application is locked so let's say
YouTube studio is locked right now
Instagram was locked so while they are
locked you do not receive notifications
okay so that's pretty much it guys I
hope you enjoyed this video I had a
blast making it I wanted to find a
process a tutorial for locking
individual apps for so long and then now
I have finally did it I finally did it
and I hope you guys can use it and enjoy
it so that's pretty much it and I'll see
you guys in a couple days bye bye
