No option to create a separate passcode for hidden folder and apps

What exactly is the point in having a hidden folder, and being able to lock your apps if you can’t actually keep them fully locked down??


I knew that when you lock your apps, it requires face I.D. 2 times until you have to enter your iPhone passcode, but I didn’t even THINK that it was the same for hidden folders in your pics app. There should 100% be an option to change your password to unlock apps and hidden folders. This feature needs to be added in ASAP.


Why add that feature in if you can’t keep them fully locked down 😂

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 18
