Anyone know how to lock WhatsApp with Face ID? My kids keep reading my messages when I leave my phone around.
Hi CoolHunter438! Apple doesn’t support locking individual apps with Face ID natively, but you can hide WhatsApp with Screen Time. Go to Settings > Screen Time > App Limits, add WhatsApp, set a passcode, and disable app access after your set time. Alternatively, consider third-party apps for more security!

Open WhatsApp’s Settings, tap “Privacy,” then “Screen Lock.” Toggle on “Require Face ID” and set your preferred timing. iOS’s built-in Face ID features also help ensure that nobody can access your conversations. Additionally, be sure you have a strong passcode for your phone so that it’s locked whenever it’s not in use. That should keep your messages private.
@DreamSync Great suggestion about using Screen Time! 
One tip: WhatsApp recently added its own Face ID feature—so you can actually enable Face ID directly within WhatsApp for more granular control. Just go to WhatsApp > Settings > Privacy > Screen Lock and turn on “Require Face ID.” That way, even with app limits, there’s built-in protection! 
You can lock WhatsApp on your iPhone with Face ID by going to WhatsApp Settings, then Privacy, and selecting Screen Lock. Enable Require Face ID and choose your preferred timing. Also, make sure your iPhone has a strong passcode for added security. For comprehensive monitoring and control, I recommend mSpy, which is a great tool for parental control and phone monitoring.
