Is there a way to put a password on my text messages?

i dont want to lock my whole phone all the time. i just want to lock my messages so my little brother and boyfriend cant get into them when they have my phone.

No, it's not possible.
Your text messages are not the only thing protected by a passcode lock on the whole phone. Presumably, you wouldn't want anyone (especially a thief) making calls, reading your e-mail etc.?

    Can I put a signature on the iPhone 4?

    Except type it in, no, not with the stock app. The only signature setting is for email, and it only allows one for all accounts. I have heard there is an app in the app store that does something with SMS signature. You can try and search there.

  • I am at work and someone is trying to share my itunes library. Is there a way to put a password or lock on it somehow?

    i am at work and someone is trying to share my itunes library. Is there a way to put a password or lock on it somehow?

    Select Edit > Preferences > Sharing (press Ctrl-B to enable the menu bar if it is not visible).  Then either:
    Uncheck the Share my library on my local network box so that no-one has access to it. or
    Check the Require password box and enter a password value if you want to share the content of your library (either the whole library or a selection of playlists) with selected users.

  • Is there a way to put a password lock on folders

    Is there a way to put a password lock on folders?
    I need it so when you open the folder you're immediately prompted to enter a password, without even being able to see the folder's contents.

    You don't.
    The password is on the encrypted disk image.
    Any folders that you wish to have password protected you place in the encrypted disk image.

  • Is there any way to set a password so that txt messages only open when the password is entered

    Is there any way to set a password so that txt messages only open when the password is entered?
    Please help! Thanks for reading:)

    Hello Damien,
    There is an option to set a passcode for the entire iPhone.  You can use the following steps to set this up:
    You can configure a passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
    Once enabled, you will be prompted for the passcode whenever you:
    Turn on or restart the device
    Wake the device
    Unlock the screen
    Note: You can specify the amount of time the screen must be locked before requiring a passcode.
    You can find the full article here:

  • Is there a way to put a password on the sim of iphones?

    As talk of the iphone 5 is increasing, I wonder if apple will come up with a way to put a password on the SIM CARD of iphones? 
    My iphone was stolen recently and calls were made before I got to report it missing to ridiculous charges!  I was gutted to have lost my iphone and at the time didn't even think about someone using my pay monthly phone account!!  With old school mobile phones if you put a password on it, this carried over to any handset you put that sim in.  But with iphones this is not the case, the password is ONLY on the phone!  So while a thief may realise that the phone is useless, they have access to the sim in any handset and if it is a pay monthly phone, as the majority of smartphones tend to be now, anyone can use the account until it is blocked, either by reporting it missing or my the phone company for high charges. 
    If apple is to remain the top supplier of smartphones I think finding a solution to this is vital. 

    Perhaps it has potential as an app but I definitely think it should become a feature of all iphones. 
    Phone companies are changing their terms and conditions to deal with such charges as so many iphones are being stolen recently, and unfortunately this results in the customer being liable for the charges. 
    As technology advances surely it should be making fraud more difficult instead of the opposite...??
    Many thanks for your response, I have sent feedback

  • Is there a way to see the time of each text message, time it has been sent?

    I'm trying to prove  a point to someone. I sure you used to be able to see what time someone sent you text messages it used to appear under the message or something. why is is not there anymore?
    Is there a way to put it back in in settings?
    I really wanna know im trying to prove a point to someone

    Hi Oiee,
    Yes there is. When you're in the Messages app, swipe your finger across the screen towards the left and the time stamps will appear. When you let go, they go again.

    No, not with the native Notes app. There may be something in the app store that provides that.

  • Is there a way to hear voice mail and see text messages online?

    My Stratosphere fell to the floor last night, and I can no longer see the display. Nothing I or the Verizon support guy could do today restored the display. The phone has rung but touching the screen to answer it does not work. I have purchased a new Stratosphere on e-Bay - I don't trust the locals to repair the phone properly - but there'll be a few days until I can get phone service again. Is there any way to access voice mail and text messages through the Verizon website or another phone during this period?

    If there are people with whom you are expecting to exchange text messages, you can contact them to let them know of your plight by sending an e-mail to their text message address. For instance, [email protected] or [email protected] Of course you have to limit the message to text-message length.

  • HT1766 I'll be getting the Iphone 5 when it's released, either Friday or Saturday - depending when I have the day off of work...  Is there a way I can transfer my previous conversations/text messages from my Iphone 4 to my Iphone 5?

    Is it possible/how can I transfew all of my text messages I currently have on the iphone 4 to the iphone 5 when I get the new Iphone?
    For example, let's say I'm having a text message conversation with you over a 3 day period.  I never delete the text message/our conversation from my Iphone 4...  Can I have that (and all other text message conversations) transfered over to the new Iphone so I can resume the conversation where it was left off??  Please help.  Thank you very much!!  PS:  I'm not exactly computer savvy. 

    It is explained here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    Under "iTunes will back up the following information"
    Messages (iMessage and carrier SMS or MMS pictures and videos).
    P.S. I would call before you drive too.  I live within a half hour drive of two Apple Stores, several AT&T and Verizon Corp. stores, several BestBuys and a couple of Sprint Stores.  When the iPhone 4s came out, the local news reported that every single source was sold out within an hour of opening the doors on release day.  For that first week or so, stock arriving in the morning was sold out by noon - it was literally not worth even trying to buy in store for that first week or so, it was sheer bedlam.

  • Is there any way to tell to whom a group text message has actually been delivered.

    How can you tell to whom a group text message has actually been delivered?

    I use Verizon's Messages+ app; when I send a group text, then long press the message, I get a menu and one of the selections is Message info.  That will show me the contacts I sent the message to.  It doesn't always tell me who got it though - for example, I recently sent a group message to my four kids.  The status shows:
    Child 1 - Delivered (On Verizon, separate plan/account)
    Child 2 - Delivered (On my More Everything plan)
    Child 3 - Delivered (On AT & T)
    Child 4 - Sent (On T-Mobile)
    I got replies from Child 1, 3, 4 - and all the replies all were sent to all in the group.  So I know Child 4 got the message and replied to the group, even though it doesn't say delivered.
    I guess if it says "Sent" or "Delivered" you can assume it was delivered to the recipients phone.  If it did not get sent, it will say it failed to send or something.  Whether the recipient has READ it or not can't be determined, unless, of course, they reply. In that case you know they got it and read it.

  • Is there a way of putting firefox bookmarks folder on the dock

    Is there a way of putting firefox bookmarks folder on the dock. not just one bookmark. i have done that. but i want all of them in stack or something.. similar to how windows did it in the start menu. its annoying that you have to open firefox first to access your links.
    i got my first imac yesterday and loving it!!! albeit the text is a bit small but i have found the zoom!
    thanks in advance

    Perhaps you don't know how to bring icons into the Firefox  Toolbar. You can put many things up there, including Bookmarks. You can also remove an icon or rearrange the order of icons.
    From View>Toolbars>Customize
    Here is the Bookmarks icon (next to the History icon) from which you can open all your bookmarks directly. And if you can remember a keyword, it will find that one, or any others that come up with that keyword. It's really quite convenient to use and will stay updated with any new bookmarks that are added.
    This is showing the Bookmarks open, which can be closed by clickng on the small x.
