A last-minute iOS 18 leak says you'll be able to lock iPhone apps with Touch ID, including iMessage, Notes, and others.

I said back in December that I wanted Apple to copy WhatsApp's Face ID security for iMessage. That's just one of the default iPhone apps that require extra protection to improve the user's privacy. Apps like Notes, Health, and Home could use a similar layer of security, especially considering how fast and convenient Face ID is. It turns out that iOS 18 might bring that sort of improved privacy security to the iPhone. A report says Apple will let users lock various apps with Face ID.

According to MacRumors, Face ID authentication is coming to standalone iPhone apps. The blog mentions 'Mail, Messages, Notes, Phone, Photos, Safari, Settings, and more' apps getting support for Face ID. Multiple sources familiar with the matter have reportedly informed the site about the feature. That's certainly a great privacy upgrade, and I can't wait to see it in action. I will point out one issue. Face ID is associated with the Lock Screen password on the iPhone.
