Needs iOS 18 or later

Works for Temp Mail: Temporary Email Pro whether or not it has its own passcode. No download needed.

Short answer

Touch and hold Temp Mail: Temporary Email Pro's icon, tap Require Face ID, then confirm. On iOS 18 and later that puts Temp Mail: Temporary Email Pro 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 Temp Mail: Temporary Email Pro with Face ID

  1. Find Temp Mail: Temporary Email Pro 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. Temp Mail: Temporary Email Pro now asks for authentication every time it opens.

To test it, close Temp Mail: Temporary Email Pro from the App Switcher and open it again. You should see the Face ID prompt before any content appears.

Hide Temp Mail: Temporary Email Pro in App Library

  1. Touch and hold Temp Mail: Temporary Email Pro'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 Temp Mail: Temporary Email Pro?

Temp Mail: Temporary Email Pro 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.

Utilities range from calculators to VPNs, so their labels vary more than any other category. A simple tool that collects identifiers and usage data for tracking is a sign of advertising SDKs.

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

FAQ

Does Temp Mail: Temporary Email Pro 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 Temp Mail: Temporary Email Pro does; the iOS 18 lock works regardless.
What happens to Temp Mail: Temporary Email Pro'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 Temp Mail: Temporary Email Pro 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 Temp Mail: Temporary Email Pro 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.
