Can i lock individual app on iOS8?

When i give my iPhone to someone i do not want them to open Photos/Messages/Whatapp or other personal apps. Can i lock them individually? so that when that app is clicked it should ask for passcode/touch id to open.

you can turn on restrictions which will let you turn off certain apps while the other person has your phone. this locks it with a restrictions passcode that will be separate from your lock screen password you can turn this on under settings>general>restrictions. once on it will allow you to set a code and turn apps off
I just looked at my phone - none of the apps OP is interested in restricted are available for manipulation through restrictions

    No third-party app can do what you want as those apps do not have access to iOS as a whole. They are (for the most part) sandboxed, and cannot directly access other apps.

  • Lock individual apps

    There are apps for locking individual apps if iPad is jail broken, but I don't want to have to jail brake my iPad. I am trying to protect my grand kids for going to bad web sites.  I can hide Safari, Utube, but not other web browsers that I have down loaded.  I don't want to have to delete these and then reload them. Why can't Apple create this one simple app?

    iOS is a sandboxed environment, so apps can't control other apps. If you have other browser apps downloaded then you can possibly hide them when your grandchildren are using it by setting an app age rating in Settings > General > Restrictions (some browsers 17+ age ratings due to which sites you could potentially go to).
    If it's an iPad 2 or 3 then with iOS 6 in the Autumn there will also be new accessibility functions if you want to limit them to just the one app - from here :
    It allows a parent, teacher, or administrator to limit an iOS device to one app by disabling the Home button, as well as restrict touch input on certain areas of the screen.

  • Can i lock an app on my iPhone with a different password than the one i use to lock my phone?

    can i lock an app on my iPhone with a different password than the one i use to lock my phone?

    This should work; one of my e-mail accounts is my own domain through Gmail.  Make sure your username is set to your full e-mail address (like [email protected]) rather than just your username.
    Did you set it up on your iPhone as an IMAP account, or as a Gmail account?  It should work perfectly using the Gmail setting.  It can work as IMAP, but you need to jump through a few hoops to get there.

  • Can i lock a app so some don,t delete it.

    You can go into settings and restrictions and disallow the deletion of apps as a whole....so not specific ones, but all apps can't be deleted without you entering a password.

    Can I buy INDIVIDUAL apps as a company? Or am I forced to buy the COMPANY apps?
    I'm working with a Windows 8.1 PC. And for the apps, I only need Photoshop and InDesign.

    Hi there
    Single apps are available as part of an Individual plan or a Teams plan - Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
    A single app plan for Individuals can be used by a company.  However, if you're purchasing for several users in a company the Teams option may be more suitable.
    Thanks

  • Locking individual apps?

    How can I lock single apps without locking the whole phone or jailbreaking my iphone using cydia and getting the lockdown app from thier web site?

    As stated, you can use restrictions if it is one of Apple's apps, but you won't be able to access the app either unless you reset your restrictions.
    Your only other option if this is critical to you is, as you seem to know, jailbreak the phone and install lockdown or a similar app. Just remember you have significantly reduced security on the OS in order to secure whatever app you want locked, but the tradeoff may be worth it to you.

    You don't. The app developer would have to build that functionality into the app itself.

  • Is their a password app that can lock individual apps

    is there a password application that can lock individual applications on the iphone?

    An app cannot control other apps. The only restrictions you can do are those within Settings that affect the built-in apps.

  • Is there a way to lock individual apps on iOS6 iphone 4S?

    I don't want people going through my what's app, messages, photos, email.. if I lend the phone they have access to everything.
    I don't want to use restrictions, or lock the whole phone, rather the individual app I want to lock.
    Is there a way to do so without jailbreaking the phone?

    As long as your device is set up to sync with iTunes you can update the apps in iTunes and then sync to the device. If you select the Apps section of your iTunes libray you will see a button at the bottom-right to Check for Updates. Click that, update, and sync.

  • Is there a download for the CS6 updates? I can only find individual app updates.

    I need to download an update for CS6 so I can create an update package using AAMEE 3.1. I am only finding downloads for the individual apps that are in the CS6 suite.

    Is Design Standard the same as In Design?
    I see this update "Adobe InDesign CS6 8.0.2 update"
    Adobe tells me I need to update all the apps in the Design Standard CS6 to get rid of the Adobe signin that comes up with 32767 days left messgae.

    Why can't you tell them that? Personally, I would never had over my iPad to someone who I suspected would snoop. And, if someone did, you can be sure I'd never let them touch it again.

  • Can not delete individual messages on ios8

    I can not delete individual messages in iMessage after I "upgraded" to ios8.  If you hold down on the message, tap "more", THERE IS NO TRASH CAN ANYWHERE ON THE SCREEN.  There is no option I have found anywhere, except to delete the entire conversation.  Please help.

    Thanks heaps.....the trying to enter a reply, then swiping downward on the keyboard worked.  That is the first useful suggestion I've seen for multiple posts with this question, so thank you very much.  Hopefully the next update will fix that problem so you don't have to go through the delete process the long way, but happy to use it as a temporary measure in the mean time.
    Thanks for taking the time to help.

  • Can't update iPhone apps with ios8

    I recently got a replacement iPhone 5s which came with ios8. Now I can't update my apps. In the app store I have several apps that are listed as having available downloads, but there's no option to update them. I can only click "open." Any ideas?

    You're not alone LC Boston. I have this too. Bought an iPhone6 two days ago, as an upgrade for my old iPhone4. Today I upgraded to iOS 8.1.2 (using iTunes). A few hours later, I saw there were two apps awaiting updates. In the Updates section of the App Store app, the two apps are listed as "Available updates" but the "Update All" option at the top of the screen is greyed out, and each app just has the "Open" box beside it, not the "Update" box. Hitting "Open" does open the app but when closed, it is still listed in the "Available updates" section and still shows "Open" as the only option.
    I Have tried everything I can think of to work around this. I deleted one app and reinstalled it from the App Store. That worked, of course, but it isn't how the update process ought to be working!
    I am not having this problem with my iPad Mini, which I also upgraded to 8.1.2 today. The issue for me is restricted to my new iPhone 6.
    Any further thoughts?
    Tom
