FINALLY Lock Apps with FaceID or Passcode on iPhone

# Protect Your iPhone Apps with App Lock and Screen Free: A Comprehensive Guide

If there’s one feature request from iPhone users, it’s the ability for Apple to add a feature that allows you to lock any app using a passcode or Face ID. While Apple has yet to introduce this feature, you no longer have to wait. There’s a really cool app called **App Lock** that provides exactly what you need.

## What is App Lock?

App Lock is an application designed to set a passcode and use Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode to unlock applications that are currently being locked by this service. It offers an extremely simple user interface (UI) once launched. On the top left, you’ll find all your categories for applications, such as social media, gaming, entertainment, creativity, and more. The first thing you want to do is set a passcode and enable Face ID if you prefer using biometric authentication to unlock locked applications.

## How to Use App Lock

To lock an application with App Lock:

1. Select the category of your desired app (e.g., Messages).

2. Choose the specific app you wish to lock (e.g., Messages).

3. Click “Start,” and your chosen app will now be locked.

For example, if you select the Messages app, it becomes locked on your iPhone’s home screen. To unlock it, you’ll need to use Face ID or enter a passcode. This feature is especially useful if you accidentally leave your phone unattended, as no one will be able to access your data without proper authentication.

One of the standout features of App Lock is its **widget**. By selecting the widget, you can quickly lock or unlock apps with just a single click. For instance, clicking the widget locks the Messages app instantly. This makes it much more convenient to manage locked applications directly from your home screen.

## Introducing Screen Free

In addition to App Lock, there’s another application called **Screen Free**. Both apps are developed by the same creator and work with the same subscription model. With a single license, you can use both apps simultaneously. The creator is currently giving away **10 free licenses**, which will be announced on their Twitter or X account once the video goes live.

### Features of Screen Free

Screen Free offers three key functionalities:

1. **Instant Block**: Allows you to instantly lock specific applications.

2. **Daily Limits**: Sets limits on how long certain apps can be used.

3. **Schedule**: Automatically locks selected apps during predefined times.

For example, if your work hours are Monday through Friday from 8 A.M. to 11 A.M., you can schedule Screen Free to lock specific apps (e.g., social media) during this time. When you click “Start,” these apps will be locked automatically every day at the specified time. To regain access, you’ll need to use Face ID, Touch ID, or enter a passcode.

### Widgets for Quick Access

Like App Lock, Screen Free also has a widget that makes it easier to manage locked applications. Whether you’re using instant lock, schedule, or daily limits, the widget provides quick and convenient access to all features.

## Subscription Details

Both App Lock and Screen Free are available with a single subscription. The creator is currently offering **10 free license codes** for their followers on Twitter/X. Make sure to follow them to catch up on their next post for details on how to claim your free licenses.

## Why You’ll Love These Apps

With an impressive rating of **4.6 stars**, these applications are designed to provide an additional layer of protection for your devices. Whether you’re worried about accidental access or want to restrict app usage during specific times, App Lock and Screen Free offer the perfect solution. They give you peace of mind knowing that your data is secure, even if your phone is left unattended.
