How to Lock Any Distance Running Tracker on iPhone

iOS 18 Face ID lock and Hidden folder · Any Distance Inc. · checked November 2026

Time needed
4 taps
Needs iOS 18 or later

Works for Any Distance Running Tracker whether or not it has its own passcode. No download needed.

Short answer

Touch and hold Any Distance Running Tracker's icon, tap Require Face ID, then confirm. On iOS 18 and later that puts Any Distance Running Tracker 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 Any Distance Running Tracker with Face ID

  1. Find Any Distance Running Tracker 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. Any Distance Running Tracker now asks for authentication every time it opens.

To test it, close Any Distance Running Tracker from the App Switcher and open it again. You should see the Face ID prompt before any content appears.

Hide Any Distance Running Tracker in App Library

  1. Touch and hold Any Distance Running Tracker'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 Any Distance Running Tracker?

Any Distance Running Tracker's privacy label lists health and fitness and user content — the kind of data you would not want on screen if someone borrows your unlocked phone. Health trackers collect symptoms, vitals and habits. In the US, most consumer health apps are not covered by HIPAA, so the privacy policy is your main protection.

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 Any Distance Running Tracker sends to its developer; for that, see Any Distance Running Tracker's full privacy report.

What the lock does and does not do

It does

  • Ask for Face ID, Touch ID or passcode every time Any Distance Running Tracker opens
  • Hide message previews in notifications
  • Keep Any Distance Running Tracker's content out of Spotlight and Siri suggestions

It does not

  • Stop someone who knows your passcode
  • Encrypt or change how Any Distance Running Tracker stores data

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 Any Distance Running Tracker

  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.

    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.

  3. Health

    Health app › your profile picture › Apps › Any Distance Running Tracker. Turn categories on one at a time; the app cannot tell which ones you declined.

  4. Sign-in

    When creating an account, Sign in with Apple can give the app a relay address from Hide My Email instead of your real one.

  5. Notifications

    Settings › Notifications › Any Distance Running Tracker › Show Previews: When Unlocked keeps message and account details off the Lock Screen.

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.

Yes. If Face ID fails, the lock falls back to your device passcode. Keep the passcode private if the lock matters to you.
