Lock Bow

1

Turn on the lock

Go to Settings and turn on Face ID Lock. On an iPhone with Touch ID it’s called Touch ID Lock, and without Face ID or Touch ID set up, Passcode Lock.
2

Confirm

Confirm with Face ID or your passcode.
3

Choose when

Under Require, choose Immediately or After 1 Minute.
Bow then asks to unlock when it opens and when you come back to it. If Face ID doesn’t work, you can use your iPhone’s passcode. While the lock is on, your budget is hidden in the app switcher. Siri and Shortcuts can still add transactions and answer questions about your budget while Bow is locked. Turning the lock off also asks for Face ID or your passcode. Your iPhone needs a passcode for the lock to work.

​
Hide amounts

To share your screen without showing your numbers, turn on Hide Amounts in Settings. Bow shows dots instead of amounts, in the app and its notifications. Amounts you type stay visible.
Siri’s answers still say the amounts.
