Is there a way of locking app folders in iphone?

I have found a lot of app fro locking pictures and files, contacts, etc, Is there a way of locking down a folder that contains apps? Say i don't want someone opening my facebook app or other apps I have. Any help is appreciated.

Unless the app has some sort of passcode written into it, no, you can't lock it. You can't lock folders.
If you don't want someone using your Facebook app, you can log out of it.

  • Is there a Way to lock apps or disable the home button?

    I often allow my 16 month old to play toddler games on my iPhone. He knows how to slide his finger to unlock the phone and he loves pressing and holding the home button to activate Siri so he can talk to her! LOL! I am worried that he will accidently delete or move an app to another screen by accident so is there a way to prevent that from happening. Also while he plays his games, he likes to press the home button which closes him out of his game. Is there a way to disable the home button so he can just stay within his toddler games?

    You can use Guide Access to restrict your child to using a single app. See:

  • Is there any way to lock a Mac via iPhone or iPod touch?

    Just wondering... Is there any free way to lock or logout a Mac using an iPhone or iPod touch? Maybe using an AppleScript and the Bluetooth built into both devices (when the iPod goes outside of the Mac's range, the computer could lock)? Any suggestions?

  • Any way to "lock" app from being deleted?

    My 3-yr old son has recently deveopled a penchant for deleting apps off our iPad.  Is there any way to "lock" apps in a way that, say, a password is needed to delete them?
    I'm getting tired of having to re-load everything after he's done with it.

    Settings -> general -> restrictions -> Deleting Apps = OFF
    Do not give him the restrictions passcode of course.

    This may help: iOS: Understanding multitasking.
    If you turn OFF multi-taskng, your toddler won't be able to "swipe" between Apps.
    I don't know of any way to disable the "Home" button though.

  • Is there a way to lock an app so no one else can get into it?

    Is there any way to lock an app so no one else can get into it?

    Not really.  You can hide an app in restrictions, but iPad is a single user device, so there is no real way to lock an active app from others if you let them use your iPad.

  • TS1702 Is there a way to lock out or restore original settings on an iPad used in a school lab setting. We need something like the program cornerstone, which will allow the iPad to revert back to its original setup.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • Is there a way to lock the folder arrangement in Apple Mail?

    My Mother-In-Law has Retinitis and is not able to see well. Every now and then she'll accidentally drag a folder into another in the Folder List.
    Is there any way to lock the arrangement of the folders so she can't drop a folder into another, or into the trash?
    I'm unable to find anything in the settings or menus.

    Selecting a different email will change what is displayed. Tapping the Home button will take you back to the Home screens. Tapping the power button on the top of the iPad will put it to sleep. Those are pretty much your options.

  • Is there a way to lock down IOS devices to a specific version of IOS?

    We got bit pretty hard by the IOS 6.1/exchange 2010 thing but would like to keep Idevices around. 
    Trying to find options to protect againts IOS updates until the IT staff can test the new version throughly. 
    Is there a way to lock a device down to a specific IOS version where the user will not get update messages? 
    I have been checking out MDM companies and all they can do is label a non approved ios version device 'non-compliant' and kick it off the network if its not the correct IOS version.
    I can straight block the new OS version from the server, but in the user base someone would accidentially update and then they are locked out.
    Is anyone else dealing with the same issues?

    You can restrict safari, which won't turn off Internet access, but will prevent browsing through safari.  Note: without additional restrictions, other browsers could be installed from the app store if users have the apple ID password.
    On the ipad itself, go to settings\general\restrictions and set safari to off.
    You may also want to restrict 'installing apps' here to prevent the user from installing additional browsers. 
    These can also be configured via MDM if you need to do this on a lot of devices.
