Needs iOS 18 or later

Works for Budget Easy Money Saving App whether or not it has its own passcode. No download needed.

Short answer

Touch and hold Budget Easy Money Saving App's icon, tap Require Face ID, then confirm. On iOS 18 and later that puts Budget Easy Money Saving App behind Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode; choose Hide and Require Face ID instead to move it into App Library's Hidden folder as well.

Lock Budget Easy Money Saving App with Face ID

  1. Find Budget Easy Money Saving App on your Home Screen or in App Library.
  2. Touch and hold the icon until the quick-actions menu opens.
  3. Tap Require Face ID (or Require Touch ID / Require Passcode, depending on your iPhone).
  4. Tap Require Face ID again to confirm. Budget Easy Money Saving App now asks for authentication every time it opens.

To test it, close Budget Easy Money Saving App from the App Switcher and open it again. You should see the Face ID prompt before any content appears.

Hide Budget Easy Money Saving App in App Library

  1. Touch and hold Budget Easy Money Saving App's icon and tap Require Face ID.
  2. Choose Hide and Require Face ID instead of Require Face ID.
  3. Confirm. The icon leaves your Home Screen and moves to the Hidden folder at the bottom of App Library.
  4. To open it later, swipe to App Library, tap Hidden and authenticate.

Hiding also locks the app. To undo either, touch and hold the icon again and choose Don't Require Face ID.

Why lock Budget Easy Money Saving App?

Budget Easy Money Saving App is a budget planner, the kind of app that tends to hold personal information you would not want on screen if someone borrows your unlocked phone. Budget planners often connect to bank accounts through an aggregator, which can see your transactions.

Finance apps need identity and financial data to function. Expect Contact Info and Financial Info; compare apps on tracking and third-party advertising instead.

A lock answers one question — who can open the app on this iPhone. It does not change what Budget Easy Money Saving App sends to its developer; for that, see Budget Easy Money Saving App's full privacy report.

What the lock does and does not do

  • Ask for Face ID, Touch ID or passcode every time Budget Easy Money Saving App opens

FAQ

Does Budget Easy Money Saving App have its own passcode?
Some apps offer an in-app PIN or biometric lock in their settings. The App Store privacy label does not say whether Budget Easy Money Saving App does; the iOS 18 lock works regardless.
What happens to Budget Easy Money Saving App's notifications when it is locked?
Locked and hidden apps do not show message previews or content in notifications, and their content does not appear in Spotlight search or Siri suggestions.
Can someone who knows my passcode open a locked app?
Yes. If Face ID fails, the lock falls back to your device passcode. Keep the passcode private if the lock matters to you.
Is a locked Budget Easy Money Saving App encrypted?
The lock controls who can open the app on this iPhone. It does not change how the app stores or syncs data. Encryption depends on the developer and on your device passcode.
Why can't I see the Require Face ID option?
You need iOS 18 or later. Some Apple apps such as Settings, Calculator, Maps and Camera cannot be locked or hidden.
Does hiding Budget Easy Money Saving App remove it from my purchase history?
No. Hidden apps still appear in App Store purchases and in Settings › Apps, and Screen Time reports still include them.
