I never understand the 'its never happened to me so not worth worrying about' type of perspective. I've needed my seatbelt exactly zero times since I started driving. But I think I'll continue using seatbelts.
Got a tip for us?

Oh, yeah, so it does. I haven't used it since before we had all the swipe gestures and we had to use the home button to exit an app. Back then it worked fine. How silly that they didn't update it.
Well, I don't live in London and when I visited it didn't happen to me.
Simmer down. There is no need to get your blood pressure to stroke level over this.
Yet, you've written a far longer post regarding this topic than I have. Well played. Also, I have a wonderful relationship with my wife. We don't need to hide things from one another. It is the folks who are getting defensive over my posts who clearly have some soul searching to do. The anger isn't on my side at all. I have a smile on my face when responding to all of you on the defense. It is quite entertaining and I thank you all for that.

I've never understood people who live in fear or hide things from their family/friends either.
One of your first comments here:
“I find it completely ridiculous that people have to lock and/or hide apps from other people…”
“…I think that is pathetic…”
“…maybe your kid/s shouldn't be in your phone in the first place…”
“…Get them their own digital babysitter to play with…”
You’re either trolling or doing some revisionist commenting here… 😉 You start throwing out loaded comments like that, I’m not sure what you expect in return.
I mentioned this in a previous comment, but how about just the basic idea of slowing someone down from seeing an app you want to be a little more secure? Like my work email? My client access app, etc? It’s not a perfect vault, but there are plenty of scenarios outside of hiding from family that make this a beneficial feature. 🤷♂️
It’s an anecdotal opinion regarding the use case of why someone would want to use this feature. Period.
Yeah. I’m sure you leave your doors unlocked 24x7, drive without seatbelts and jump from a plane without a parachute. Because you’re fearless. /s
Are you alright this morning? I'm not sure why you feel the need to respond to my posts with sarcasm, especially so early in the day.
Again, it wasn't my opinion, it was a fact. I'm not sure why this is so difficult for you to understand. What you mentioned has never happened to me. Plain and simple. Trying to spin it any other way is nonsensical.
Anyway, I'm done with this thread. If you are on the defense or are up in arms about my posts, I would suggest you look deep within and figure out why you are so bothered by what I've said. I'm just one person. What I post shouldn't hold this much sway in your life, seriously. I appreciate the lively back and forth, but at this point it is getting exhausting.
Geez... I do not understand the discussion here.
One group of people sees that this is a feature for them their use cases and then there is a another group who go "BuT iTS NOT uSEFull To mEEE!!!"
Newsflash folks: The world does not revolve around you.
You are free to NOT use a feature if you do not see it working for you. I do not use the health app, but there are people who do. I don't use any social media app but people do. etc. etc. Just leave it alone. It does not cost you money.

This person is likely a 14 year old who is just experiencing the world as a 'grown up' and has the same hot takes we all did when finding out about real world issues.
"I don't do this, can't imagine any scenario where I would do this, therefore no one else should do this"
I would agree with this except for the Mack the Knife references. No 14 year old would even know to Google that!
Unfortunately trolls can exist at any age.
It will be VERY interesting to see how divorce lawyers and people of a certain political persuasion react to this.
im surprised at that, surely thats a bug too, or its ill thought out. there's always been the ability to hide the fact that an app has been purchased/downloaded so that when you dont have it downloaded it shows GET, so hiding it should do the same (id have thought).
