That split seconds between the apps and the lock screen exposure is matter of life and death.

First didn’t understand, after setting now I know

[@sangkurshiveer8400]

instead of start timer select “lock the screen”

[@ibrahimKD98]

@@sangkurshiveer8400not a thing tho

[@siiickguy]

@@ibrahimKD98idk if its a new ios thing but its called “lock screen”, u can select that instead of the timer

[@Baddie011]

doesn’t work no more, you have to replace the action “timer” with action “lock screen” and add without notification and immediately, you are welcome my friends

[@Danjr704]

This is the way. With recent iOS update there’s a bug that the phone is making random phone calls, I added this automation to prompt passcode/faceid when phone app is trying to opened. Very helpful

How do I stop the timer noise

I figured out using “lock screen” is best approach instead of searching for “timer”

Change the “timer” with “Lock Screen” and it will automatically work

Very clever, and useful! Thanks!

[@bencekovacs7732]

Not clever cuz anyone can go to shortcuts and turn it off

[@user-by8jg2gx6u]

@@bencekovacs7732yh but someone who snatches ur phone won’t know and it’ll lock if they go on certain apps so technically it is smart

[@adamk.1012]

All nice and neat, except you CANNOT LOCK the Shortcuts app itself, it's not on the list of apps you can lock. so basically you can lock all your apps and someone can just simply open the Shortcuts app and disable the godamn thing!! Seriously Apple needs to make this a native feature instead of all this bullshit!!

[@mjg.3239]

Yep. Worthless for truly locking the app…

[@GaniyuAbiodun-zd2jy]

You read my mind ❤️

Best videos.i alreday 3 hours searching many videos or youtube cahanel but but not clear .I already I clear and found it Tnx sir

[@CodPast]

Kinda pointless that you can't lock the shortcuts app... So a thief has full access to the app that disables your locks. That's like hanging your key up in a tree so that a burgler has to climb the tree first to break into your house.

[@nicburnside1270]

Or you could just lock the Shortcuts app

[@airex12]

@@nicburnside1270 it’s not possible to do that

[@iranie4981]

thanks for showing me how to lock apps. This video was easy, precise & quick!

[@iamaweirdperson4866]

Is there a better way to do this where it does not lock you out of your phone. Which someone can just unlock again if they know your passcode and then can access the apps

[@rymeergocrazy5312]

Find a way?

[@Purple-guy012]

Change your passcode , BOOM🤯

[@Lovee_beadies]

@@Purple-guy012bro it’s none of your business

[@CookieFiend519]

Is it possible to do this but set individual passcodes for each app instead of using the phone’s passcode/face ID

[@gp1216]

I want this coz my friends use my ipad

[@PUBGFALCON]

My issue is how to lock shortcut app it self, because if it cannot be locked no use At all. Anyone can reverse by just opening shortcut

[@friusmaxson9184]

I have been discover this method by myself but one day it didnt work. Until one day i found this video which every step he explain is same as mine . The reason why that shotcut didnt work is because i make a change on the step he explain on min 2:29 until 2:50. And finally my problem solved😂 thanks bro.

[@rnmaclovr]

Omg video I’ve been waiting for!

[@idkjuststop]

how about different passcode for different apps

[@frodo1338]

Apple looks so sophisticated and well thought trough on the surface. But digging just a little bit reveals that there are a s*** load of missing basic functions, which KZbinrs have to find wacky solutions for...

[@kyroking9934]

Can I still use the timer for other stuff? Like rest time for gym?

[@creativelkos]

Great idea but i think that the problem it’s to shortcut app because this application doesn’t have the opsion to be locked up in any way. I have tried different ways but can’t find the way to lock with pass or face the shortcut . If anyone has some idea hot to lock shortcut?

[@vernoncameron396]

but if you can disable the lock so easily shouldn't anyone who wants to get in the phone just go back to the shortcut app and get access... to over ride this can you lock the short cut app as well?

[@ahmedwahed7616]

Would this protect me from hackers ?

[@RiosMomof4]

Can You Tell Us How To Unlock It Because I Want To Stop It But This Thing Works

[@zigleee111]

just go into your shortcuts app and delete the automation you created and it will go away :)

[@puffsThecringeKITTAY]

I just saw something on shortcuts that would be perfect for Rick Rolling! So you choose an app you set it to open KZbin when the app is closed and on your KZbin tab put the Rick Roll music video.

[@jl373]

Its working thanks for those who says its not working its because its automatically unlocks when it saw your face try to do this method and then open the app you locked without facing the screen just open it on side so that it cant detect your faceid then you will know it works 😂 thanks for this vid 😊

[@Bailu170]

Thank you so much

[@iizsqa]

Useful asf thanks

[@user-gv8yi3nm8c]

Honestly, i wanted a way to lock an app with a different passcode than whats on my lock screen, why? Because who ever is snooping through my phone probably knows my password. Is there a way to combat this?

[@senoritobernard]

Why it doesn’t work on my iphone11 ios17!☹️

[@Pa-boy]

It’s great except for the same not so itsy bitsy problem, It’s the same passcode. Apple needs to enabling the locking of apps with a passcode that is NOT the phone’s passcode.

[@poolflorian2235]

The Best video I’ll follow this Guy I’m not going to get lost

[@TanyaKatherine]

Question: If say...my brother is hacking my phone remotely to keep tabs on me, and use the information for malevolent purposes to gain an advantage over me, is that incest? Or is this considered thievery? Invading someone's privacy like this is incest-y to me and feels violating. I hate being spied upon in such an intimate way that is unwanted.

Now I can lock my apps to avoid that ONE person who just opens any apps without consent.🤗

[@Uhhh_me]

In shortcuts instead of choosing clock you can choose Lock Screen and it will make you use Face ID or password (much easier and no 1 second of life or death)

[@Pa-boy]

The problem with this is if someone can unlock your iPhone they have no restrictions whatsoever. There is no way to restrict their access to specific apps . Once they know your passcode they are in

[@ehabibrahim2111]

Damn man ... That smart way ...thanx

Shortcuts cannot be locked since just go to shortcuts delete the automation and that it.
