Protect Nodbase with an app lock
Turn on the app lock and your network only opens with face recognition, fingerprint or your passcode.

How to do it
- Tap You, then the gear at the top left.
- Tap Privacy & Security.
- Under App Lock, turn on Protect with Face ID. Depending on your iPhone, it says Touch ID or your passcode.
- Confirm once with Face ID.
If you haven’t set a passcode on your iPhone, set one in iOS Settings first.
When it locks
Under Lock After you choose how long the app may be away: Immediately, 1 minute, 15 minutes or 1 hour. The default is 15 minutes. After the app restarts, it always asks.
When the app is locked, it shows Your Network Is Protected. If Face ID doesn’t work, tap Unlock with Face ID or use your passcode.
In the app switcher
Even without the app lock, Nodbase covers its content with the logo as soon as you leave the app, for example in the app switcher or Control Center.
Note: The app lock applies to the app. Widgets, the Quick Capture Dynamic Island and Siri aren’t covered. iOS hides your card and brain in widgets wherever it redacts content.
