Works for Evera whether or not it has its own passcode. No download needed.
Touch and hold Evera's icon, tap Require Face ID, then confirm. On iOS 18 and later that puts Evera 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 Evera with Face ID
- Find Evera on your Home Screen or in App Library.
- Touch and hold the icon until the quick-actions menu opens.
- Tap Require Face ID (or Require Touch ID / Require Passcode, depending on your iPhone).
- Tap Require Face ID again to confirm. Evera now asks for authentication every time it opens.
To test it, close Evera from the App Switcher and open it again. You should see the Face ID prompt before any content appears.
Hide Evera in App Library
- Touch and hold Evera's icon and tap Require Face ID.
- Choose Hide and Require Face ID instead of Require Face ID.
- Confirm. The icon leaves your Home Screen and moves to the Hidden folder at the bottom of App Library.
- 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 Evera?
Evera's privacy label lists health and fitness and location — the kind of data you would not want on screen if someone borrows your unlocked phone. Family organizers collect data about several people at once — schedules, children's names, locations and shopping lists.
Health and fitness apps can read Apple Health data only for categories you approve, one by one. What they collect themselves is shown on the label.
A lock answers one question — who can open the app on this iPhone. It does not change what Evera sends to its developer; for that, see Evera's full privacy report.
What the lock does and does not do
It does
- Ask for Face ID, Touch ID or passcode every time Evera opens

It does not
- Stop someone who knows your passcode
- Encrypt or change how Evera stores data
- Sync to your iPad or other devices
- Remove Evera from purchase history or Screen Time reports
Don't see Require Face ID?
- Update to iOS 18 or later in Settings › General › Software Update.
- Make sure a passcode is set in Settings › Face ID & Passcode; the lock needs one.
- Some Apple apps (Settings, Calculator, Camera, Maps, Find My, Clock) cannot be locked or hidden.
- If your iPhone is managed by work or school, the option may be restricted.
