How to Secure iPhone Notes with a Password?
What You Can Lock
Apple Notes lets you lock individual notes with a password or Face ID/Touch ID (depending on your settings).
Set a Notes Password
- Settings > Apps > Notes (or Settings > Notes).
- Tap Password.
- Choose an account (iCloud or On My iPhone) and create a password.
Lock a Note
- Open the note in Notes.
- Tap the More (⋯) button.
- Tap Lock (or Lock Note).
- Use your password or Face ID/Touch ID to confirm.
🤔 Protip:
Important Limitations: If you forget the Notes password, Apple can’t unlock existing locked notes for you. Changing the Notes password affects new locks; it may not unlock older notes without the old password.
