Iphone is locked to download app password

Are you or your child addicted to your iPhone? Want to limit the amount of time you spend staring at the screen? Fortunately, iOS comes with the ability to lock apps on your iPhone with a passcode to limit access to them.

That is, you can set a specific time frame after which your phone will automatically block access to the app until you enter the passcode. This is done through the Screen Time feature and is great for parental control. However, there are also third-party options that provide even more control without requiring a password.

Note : If you ever get stuck in Guided Access mode, force restart your iPhone to come out of this. You can change this at any time you wish. If you're using a PC, make sure that is has Windows 8 or later, and that iTunes is installed. You also need the cable that came with your iPhone, or another compatible cable, to connect your iPhone to the computer.

If you don't have a computer and you can't borrow one, you need to go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for help.

If you can't complete any of these steps, if you're still prompted for a passcode, or if you need any other assistance, contact Apple Support. If you forgot your iPhone passcode Forgot your iPhone passcode? Forgot the passcode on your iPad? Forgot the passcode on your iPod touch?
