How To Lock Your Photos On Iphone 8

Lock your notes on iPhone

In the Notes app , you can lock notes with a password to protect your sensitive information. Notes uses a single password for all your locked notes in an account (for example, your iCloud account), on all your devices.

You can use Face ID (on an iPhone with Face ID) or Touch ID (on an iPhone with a Home button) as a convenient way to access your locked notes; however, don't rely on Face ID or Touch ID as the only means of unlocking your notes. If you update your Face ID or Touch ID settings, or want to change your Notes password, you have to reenter your Notes password. For this reason, it's strongly recommended that you add a password hint when you create the password.

Set up your notes password

The password you set applies to all notes you lock from now on.

Go to Settings > Notes > Password.
If you have multiple accounts, choose the account you want to set a password for.
Enter a password and add a hint to help you remember it.

For added convenience, you can also turn on Face ID or Touch ID.

Important: If you forget your notes password, and you can't use Face ID or Touch ID to unlock your notes, you won't be able to view your locked notes, and Apple can't help you regain access to those locked notes.

You can reset your notes password, but this doesn't give you access to previously locked notes. The new password applies to all notes you lock from now on. Go to Settings > Notes > Password > Reset Password.
