How to Lock Specific Settings / Apps with your Fingerprint on the iPhone 5S (Video)

Before we showed you an app that allowed you to lock down individual apps with your fingerprint in the form of a free jailbreak tweak. There is now a new one though that has the ability to lockdown settings pages, toggles, and apps with your fingerprint (and a nicer UI). This new one isn’t free, however, but with it’s extra functionality and better looks, it might be worth it to you. Here’s how to lock specific settings and apps with your fingerprint on the iPhone 5S.

I. Jailbreak your iPhone/iPad

To do this procedure you must be jailbroken. If you aren’t, you can head to our Jailbreak How To’s section and pick the jailbreak for your version of iOS (currently at the time of writing this is 7.0.4). Once done with that procedure and you have Cydia installed, head back here to continue.

6. Tap Close when you’ve paid.

7. Tap Install where Purchase used to be.

8. Tap Restart.
