Keep Your Journal Private By Locking It
A great privacy feature you can find in the Journal app is the ability to lock it behind Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. This will keep your most secret thoughts private and ensure that you’re the only one who can touch your journal.
Here’s how to lock the Journal app:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and go to Journal.
- Tap on Lock Journal.
- Enter your passcode.
- Turn on Lock.
Be sure that Journal is allowed to use Face ID or Touch ID if you want. If not, you can still use your passcode.
After you turn on the Lock feature, you can also tap on Require Passcode and choose how long the Journal app needs to be inactive for it to ask for your passcode.
