Setting Passcode for child’s iPhone (not for screen time)

We have my daughter’s iPhone setup with a passcode for the screen time settings to manage when she uses the phone.


But she would like a passcode to be set on her phone so that nobody else can open the phone when she goes to school. Same as I use mine for work etc. I can’t seem to find a way of setting this for her. Any suggestions?

iPhone 13

ScreenTime shouldn't prevent use of a passcode, just changing it if that is what you have chosen when setting up the phone.


If she has set up FaceID, that may be used instead of a passcode unless you disable Face ID.
