How to Lock Mail1Click on iPhone

iOS 18 Face ID lock and Hidden folder · KRYPTOTEL FZ-LLC · checked November 2026

Time needed
4 taps
Needs iOS 18 or later

Works for Mail1Click whether or not it has its own passcode. No download needed.

Short answer

Touch and hold Mail1Click's icon, tap Require Face ID, then confirm. On iOS 18 and later that puts Mail1Click 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 Mail1Click with Face ID

  1. Find Mail1Click 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. Mail1Click now asks for authentication every time it opens.

To test it, close Mail1Click from the App Switcher and open it again. You should see the Face ID prompt before any content appears.

Hide Mail1Click in App Library

  1. Touch and hold Mail1Click'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 Mail1Click?

Mail1Click is a secure email app, the kind of app that tends to hold personal information you would not want on screen if someone borrows your unlocked phone. Email apps see every message and contact. Third-party mail clients may route mail through their own servers to offer features like push or AI summaries.

Productivity apps tend to collect the work you do in them — documents, notes and files — so User Content is common. The question is whether it syncs to the developer's servers and how it is protected there.

A lock answers one question — who can open the app on this iPhone. It does not change what Mail1Click sends to its developer; for that, see Mail1Click's full privacy report.

What the lock does and does not do

It does

  • Ask for Face ID, Touch ID or passcode every time Mail1Click opens
  • Hide message previews in notifications
  • Keep Mail1Click'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 Mail1Click stores data
  • Sync to your iPad or other devices
  • Remove Mail1Click 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.

FAQ

Does Mail1Click 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 Mail1Click does; the iOS 18 lock works regardless.
What happens to Mail1Click'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 Mail1Click 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 Mail1Click 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.
