Apple 's new iOS 18 features include the ability to lock and hide applications.

The Locked App feature allows you to secure apps behind an authentication request it's similar to locking your phone when you aren't using it.

The Hidden App feature makes the icon and name of your chosen application disappear from your screen.

This means that anyone accessing your unlocked phone won't know you have that application installed.
