How to Lock Ledger Wallet Crypto Wallet on iPhone

iOS 18 Face ID lock and Hidden folder · Ledger SAS · checked November 2026

Time needed
4 taps
Needs iOS 18 or later

Works for Ledger Wallet Crypto Wallet whether or not it has its own passcode. No download needed.

Short answer

Touch and hold Ledger Wallet Crypto Wallet's icon, tap Require Face ID, then confirm. On iOS 18 and later that puts Ledger Wallet Crypto Wallet 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 Ledger Wallet Crypto Wallet with Face ID

  1. Find Ledger Wallet Crypto Wallet 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. Ledger Wallet Crypto Wallet now asks for authentication every time it opens.

To test it, close Ledger Wallet Crypto Wallet from the App Switcher and open it again. You should see the Face ID prompt before any content appears.

Hide Ledger Wallet Crypto Wallet in App Library

  1. Touch and hold Ledger Wallet Crypto Wallet'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 Ledger Wallet Crypto Wallet?

Ledger Wallet Crypto Wallet's privacy label lists user content — the kind of data you would not want on screen if someone borrows your unlocked phone. Wallet apps hold payment details, passes or crypto keys. Financial data on the label is expected; tracking alongside it is the thing to compare.

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 Ledger Wallet Crypto Wallet sends to its developer; for that, see Ledger Wallet Crypto Wallet's full privacy report.

What the lock does and does not do

It does

  • Ask for Face ID, Touch ID or passcode every time Ledger Wallet Crypto Wallet opens

It does not

  • Stop someone who knows your passcode

Don't see Require Face ID?

FAQ

Does Ledger Wallet Crypto Wallet 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 Ledger Wallet Crypto Wallet does; the iOS 18 lock works regardless.
What happens to Ledger Wallet Crypto Wallet'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 Ledger Wallet Crypto Wallet 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 Ledger Wallet Crypto Wallet 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.
