You can keep all your secrets like bank account details, passwords and other personal data safe if you are an iPhone user and have updated your device to iOS 16.

According to the information provided by Apple, with iOS 16, you have two options to lock your notes- with your iPhone passcode or you can create a unique password only for a specific note. Both options keep your information secure with end-to-end encryption in all iCloud accounts.

If you use your iPhone passcode, you don't have to create and remember a separate password. If you access your iCloud notes on more than one Apple device, use the passcode or login password for that device to unlock those notes. While, if you use a unique password for Notes, there is no way to access your locked notes if you forget the password.

Follow the prompts to either Use iPhone Passcode or Create Password. If you choose to create a notes password, set a password hint. If your device supports it, enable Face ID or Touch ID and tap Done.

Open Notes and go to a note that you want to lock. Then tap the More button and click on Lock. Follow the
