How to lock individual app / how to add whatsapp in restrictions ?

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

    can somebody tell me how to lock it or protect it

    iOs does not provide the ability to lock individual apps. Some apps do
    provide their own protection, but not all do. As far as I know, the FaceBook
    app does not allow this protection. Can you set the FaceBook app to require
    a password each time you log in?

    Yes, do these steps,
    Have you tested this throughly?
    As an example 'lock' Safari via your method.
    Now use Spotlight to search for Safari, tap it - is it 'locked'?
    Now go to your email & find a link to click - Safari opens again.
    Guided access is not a 'lock' in any sense of the word, it is a tool designed to stop things happening, but many apps have multiple ways to be found or launched you can't easily block them all.
    Mallik_Hyderabad, iOS doesn't have this feature & Apple do not seem interested in adding it (7.5 years & it still isn't an option) - use a passcode with a lock screen timeout if you have any sensitive data on the device or get an Android device.

    Is it possible to lock individual app like messages, photos etc without jailbreak in io8....?

    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.

  • Is their a password app that can lock individual apps

    Hi there,
    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    How do I install apps without the  app store

    This is an issue not to be taken lightly. I just upgraded to Mavericks. My two favorite amateur radio apps will not launch because they did not come from the App Store. There must be a way to make them work. Come on, let's have it. Ohh, the apps: DVTool for DStar Radio operation, and echomac for amateur radio repeater connection from a Mac. These are essential amateur radio applications used in emergency radio communications ... ARES.

  • HT201304 How do you report apps that are incorrectly rated?

    There is an app called 'Guides for Pokémon X and Y - Videos, Walkthroughs and More!' available on the iOS app store. It is rated 4+ but has adult language (f**k). I tried contacting the vendor but never heard back.

    Do you mean from your iPhone?
    Documents & Data are not taking up any space in iTunes.Delete some apps.
    Select the iPhone in iTunes and remove the apps.
    Or on the iPhone, Settings > General > Usage.
    THis will show how mach space each app and its data is using. You can delete them here.

    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

  • HT201304 How to deleted my app purchase?

    I hate my family and/or friends downloading app purchase in my ipad2. I wondering how can I deleted my app in purchase?

    Hello Courtney,
    You can prevent your family and friends from installing apps or in-app purchases on your iPad by enabling the restrictions for these features:
    Using Restrictions
    You can enable and adjust Restrictions on your device to prevent access to specific features or content on the device.
    Tap Settings > General.
    Tap Restrictions.
    Tap Enable Restrictions and enter a passcode. The passcode will be required to make changes to these settings or to disable Restrictions. Note: If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.
    You can restrict access to the following applications and features on the device:

  • App to lock individual apps

    Hi Guys,
    i am looking for a program that protects all other open programs from accidental / locks. Privacy is not written supposedly great but if the iPhone is open, everything else is accessible. I think that this feature of Apple are programmed into the firmware and must, therefore, would like a password protection for applications such as photos or video. I would not have to jailbreak the iPhone because of it. Is there currently a solution for it?
    Regards,
    Tom

    Did you check out Settings> General > Restrictions? Some limited controls there.
    Nothing in the App Store can control other apps, but there are, for instance, apps that will hold photos and offer locking, which would let you hide specific sensitive material, eg:
    http://appshopper.com/search/?search=private+photo
    Send feedback to Apple:
    http://apple.com/feedback
    More ability to restrict other users is a pretty frequent request (in various forms) so it's worth trying to move it up their list. Or call AppleCare.
