How to stop a 10YO kid from reading my messages?

@acts1038 No reason for her to be on your phone. Just keep it away and definitely have a lock that she will not be able to figure out.

 

[acts1038]

@frankgar Yeah just did it, also will have a talk with her parents next week when they visit.

@acts1038 Lock your phone

 

[princedant]

@acts1038 You can ow protect apps on their own I think

 

[randomthought12]

@acts1038 Put a password on your phone and d ont let her use it. Tell her its because she snoops

@acts1038 I've just recently heard there is a way to let someone borrow your phone for a specific app and when they leave that app it locks your phone, look it up, might only be IPhone but worth a look,

@gelimontana143 I have Iphone but it seems that Android users have it too

@acts1038 Password or fingerprint unlock.

@acts1038 Echoing the whole "password" thing. But if someone starts to get mad that the precious angel can't go through your phone, Zedge has great lock screens that say "Ha you don't know my password!" Or "Don't touch my phone"

 

[acts1038]

@nickydhas That's what happens generally. I found out that at some point she installed Zedge, I didn't, my 5 years old brother didn't get how AppStore works (I'm the only IOS user from the house), and no other person besides us 3 touched the phone in a long time so yeah, good idea

@acts1038 Passcodes for each app

@acts1038 I would put a password on and say sorry but no access to your phone, she has her own, she does not need yours

@acts1038 Yeah, echoing what others have said here - she has a phone, she doesn't need yours. Just put a password on it and be done with it.

Honestly, everyone should have a password or some other type of security on their phone anyway. Otherwise if your phone gets lost or stolen, people have access to your messages, contacts, bank info if you have an online banking app, other personal details, your Google account, etc.
