How to Lock Seed to Spoon on iPhone

iOS 18 Face ID lock and Hidden folder · J&P Park Acquisitions, Inc. · checked November 2026

Time needed
4 taps
Needs iOS 18 or later

Works for Seed to Spoon whether or not it has its own passcode. No download needed.

Short answer

Touch and hold Seed to Spoon's icon, tap Require Face ID, then confirm. On iOS 18 and later that puts Seed to Spoon 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 Seed to Spoon with Face ID

  1. Find Seed to Spoon 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. Seed to Spoon now asks for authentication every time it opens.

To test it, close Seed to Spoon from the App Switcher and open it again. You should see the Face ID prompt before any content appears.

Hide Seed to Spoon in App Library

  1. Touch and hold Seed to Spoon'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 Seed to Spoon?

Seed to Spoon's privacy label lists location and user content — the kind of data you would not want on screen if someone borrows your unlocked phone. Calendars reveal where you will be and who you meet. Planner apps may also read your other calendars and reminders.

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 Seed to Spoon sends to its developer; for that, see Seed to Spoon's full privacy report.

What the lock does and does not do

It does

  • Ask for Face ID, Touch ID or passcode every time Seed to Spoon opens
  • Hide message previews in notifications
  • Keep Seed to Spoon's content out of Spotlight and Siri suggestions
  • With Hide, remove the icon from the Home Screen

It does not

  • Stop someone who knows your passcode
  • Encrypt or change how Seed to Spoon stores data
  • Sync to your iPad or other devices
  • Remove Seed to Spoon 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.

Other settings worth checking for Seed to Spoon

  1. Tracking

    Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking. If “Allow Apps to Request to Track” is off, apps cannot ask, and they are told to treat you as having declined. You can also turn it off for this app alone.

  2. Location

    Settings › Privacy & Security › Location Services › Seed to Spoon. Choose While Using or Never, and switch off Precise Location if a city-level answer is enough.

  3. Photos

    Settings › Privacy & Security › Photos. Limited Access lets you pick exactly which pictures the app can see; Add Photos Only lets it save without reading your library.

  4. Health

    Health app › your profile picture › Apps › Seed to Spoon. Turn categories on one at a time; the app cannot tell which ones you declined.

  5. Notifications

    Settings › Notifications › Seed to Spoon › Show Previews: When Unlocked keeps message and account details off the Lock Screen.

    FAQ

    Does Seed to Spoon 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 Seed to Spoon does; the iOS 18 lock works regardless.
    What happens to Seed to Spoon'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 Seed to Spoon 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 Seed to Spoon 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.
