Short YouTube commentary by Caitlin Sarian describing iOS 18’s new app Lock & Hide feature: users can lock individual apps (requiring a secondary passcode/Face ID/Touch ID even if the phone is unlocked), suppress notifications/calls/search/map history for locked apps, and hide apps inside a secure folder visible only to the device owner. The speaker notes privacy/security implications (e.g., it makes it easier for someone to hide app use) and adds that app lists remain visible via iCloud login. Casual, consumer-focused cybersecurity framing with a brief CTA to follow for tips.

Single, y'. All. It is a good day to be single because Apple did a big one with that.
She's talking about iOS 18's new lock and hide feature for apps. Basically what happens is even if your phone is unlocked, you can now lock down specific apps, meaning that you're gonna have to do another passcode, face, id, etc to get in. Also, when you lock these apps, notifications won't be sent, you won't get any phone calls, you won't get any search history, map history, whatever. It's basically like the app's non existent on on top of that, you can actually hide the apps in a secure folder and the only person that can see it is the person that owns the phone. Which basically means it's really, really easy for cheaters to cheat and get away with it. But don't worry because this is only on their device, meaning if you log into their icloud, you'll still be able to see what apps are on their phone like and follow for all our cybersecurity tips and share this with your iPhone Bestie.
