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.

    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.

    is there a way to stop sharing apps between my iphone and my daughters ipad...we share the same email and itunes account.

    You can keep the same Apple ID for purchases, but set up her own iCloud account for email and syncing.
    You can easily and effectively use the same ID for purchases.
    What you do is use the apple ID you have been using for app/book/movie/music purchases. In Settings > Store, make sure you are using your usual apple ID.
    Then, set up an icloud (@me.com) account for you on your phone, and one for your daughter on her phone. In Settings > iCloud, make sure each of you are using your new iCloud accounts, and not your Apple ID.
    Also, in Settings > Messages > Receive At, make sure you are using your iCloud accounts
    This way, all of your purchases are using one account, and you can effectively use iCloud.

  • Is there a way to "lock" an app tab so that it will stay on a specific domain?

    I use our family computer in the living room. I have told them numerous times not to change the app tab because I use it everyday, and I don't want it going to some game site. Unfortunately, they don't care and do it anyway. Is there a way that I can "lock" the tab so that it stays on that specific domain? example: facebook.com

    Unfortunately these don't lock tab by domain, but only a current page :( I'm also looking for a solution to enable domain browsing on locked tab. It seems like logical behavior, so I'm really surprised I can't find anything how to achieve it.

  • Is there a way to lock the app tabs, so that it automaticly opens a new tab when I leave the site that the app tab is started on?

    I am wondering if it is possible to turn app tabs into basically a "live bookmark"

    the TabMixPlus extension has a feature for doing just this (and lots of other features i have come to use all the time, can't live w/o it)
    the option is on the very bottom of the Events preference panel -> New Tabs tab in the TabMixPlus options window (see pic)

  • Is there any way to lock the controls on the iPhone?

    I need to figure out a way to let my 2-year-old watch Blue's Clues on my phone without him being to interfere with the play back. If it can't be done with a setting on the phone, is there a particular case that would work?

    Sorry, not possible. Any case that would block the controls, would of course block the screen, since the screen is one big control.

  • Is there any way to sync individual songs to your iPhone?

    I have iTunes 11.1.2 and a 4s iPhone. I cant seem to sync individual songs. You would figure Apple would make improvements with new iTunes instead of horribly regress backwards. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Please explain.
    You can simply add a song to a playlist you sync.
    Not sure what you are looking for.

  • Is there a way to close background apps on my iPhone 3G running iOS 4.2.1? I'm getting crazy!!!

    I'm running iOS 4.2.1 on my iPhone 3G and it's getting very slow because i cant close the apps that i finished to use (can't close bg apps). If you would help me i'll appreciate il very much

    It's likely running slow because of iOS4, not because of apps being open.  Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    If still a problem restore from your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    You'll most likely need to restore as new to get it running as good as it can.  A 3G will never run as good on iOS4 as it did on iOS3.

  • 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 any way to lock an IPAD app? by lock, I don't mean password protect.  My toddler is constantly scrolling out of her apps and this causes frustration as she spends all her time bringing the IPAD back to me to get back in to the app she was playing

    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.

  • 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.

    We setup iPads for a mobile lab and students change the settings or set up a pass code on the iPad. Is there a way to lock the settings folder or an app to revert any changes back to the original set up like the program cornerstone (for a pc)?

    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 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.

  • HT4059 Is there a way to lock a book being read? So no one else is able to view it

    Is there a way to lock a book in the iPad iBooks library so that no one. Else can read if?

    Use a passcode on the device.
    Apps cannot be restricted from general access and iBooks cannot be locked down.
