All Devices Will iOS 13 Allow Folder Protection?

[jjudson]

Any of you out there who's testing the betas:

Will iOS 13 permit folder hiding or protection? I just found out today that I have a program that has a big flaw in file protection. The app requires a password or fingerprint to access the files, but the files appear un-protected in the files app. This kind of defeats the purpose of the program protecting the files in the first place. I'm actually surprised that Apple doesn't allow folder protection or hiding.

I'm wondering if iOS 13 will allow one to password protect or hide folders with files in them. Anyone know if that's possible?

I haven't seen anything, but in a similar vein, I'd like to see apple enable Face/TouchID authentication on a per-app basis for system apps (Mail, messages and files being the most obvious candidates).

Nope, sorry.
