The Diary app allows you to capture special moments and memories in an easy way. Of course, these are personal notes and you may not want everyone to have access to this app. That is why you can lock Diary and protect it with a passcode.
Once you start the application, you will first need to enter the access code before you can access the app. Of course, you can also use Face ID or Touch ID to lift the lock. You can choose a period when iOS should automatically lock the app.
Diary for iPhone
The Diary application for iPhone can be used to write about your experiences and discover meaningful insights. Perfect for capturing special moments, so that you can reflect on them later. Diary is ideal for keeping track of what you are grateful for, so that you can reflect on it. Research shows that this benefits your well-being.
The app can be locked, uses on-device processes, and is fully encrypted. So Diary is built to protect your privacy and ensure that no one else can access the app – including Apple. A new API called “Diary Suggestions” lets developers add new Diary suggestions to their apps, but the results are not visible to any app.
Lock diary
Of course, your iPhone is already equipped with a lock using a passcode and Face ID or Touch ID. As soon as your device is unlocked, apps can be opened. If desired, you can apply extra security for the Diary app. This way, you can prevent someone from snooping in your diary if this person has your iPhone in their hands.
- Open Settings on your iPhone
- Navigate to ‘Diary’
- Tap ‘Lock diary’
- Enter your access code
- Turn on ‘Lock’
- Select a desired period
Now when you open the Diary app, you will first have to enter Face ID, Touch ID or access code before you can use the application. In the settings you can specify when the code is requested, for example only after 5 minutes or immediately.
