iPhone: Locking files in Notes App

Can’t find any info on Notes App as to whether or not Apple allows you to lock entire file instead of having to lock every single note in the file on an iPhone.


Any one know?


Thanks

It is not possible to lock the Notes app, only the notes in the app.


However, in iOS 16 it has become possible to lock all notes with your iPhone Passcode. So instead of having to create and remember new passwords for each note, you can just use the same code that you unlock your iPhone with.
