How to Hide Records on an iPhone

Hiding records on your iPhone requires creating a custom password or numerical passcode to lock your device when it is not in use. The iPhone contains an auto-lock feature, which automatically locks your phone after a specific period of inactivity. Unlike the screen lock feature on the iPod devices, the iPhone will not unlock when connected to your computer and requires a device restore if the passcode is forgotten.

  Slide your finger over "Simple Passcode" to turn off the feature.

• 4

  Touch "Turn Passcode On" and type a new password into the blank field.

• 5

  Click "Next" and re-enter the passcode. Click "Done" to save the passcode for your device.
