Put a password prompt on the Settings app, as well as iOS features like Spotlight and the multitasking bar. It would be convenient to lock such areas down to obstruct prying eyes.
The utility doesn’t include a separate home screen icon, just navigate to the Settings app to change FolderLock’s parameters. You can enable or disable FolderLock, as well as choose which apps you want locked via password.

For data safety, Apple suggest people backup iPhone, especially before you upgrade to iOS 13 or switch to a new iPhone 11. Instead of using iTunes and iCloud, there are some third-party iPhone backup software, and iCareFone is the recommended one, as it is free to backup iPhone selectively.
