Clear and concise description of the problem

At the moment there's no way of securing access to the app's content on iOS. Once the phone is unlocked anyone can access its contents which isn't great.

Suggested solution

Add the ability to verify the current user with Face ID upon launching before it unlocks and displays the app's content.

Face-ID requirement can be set on iOS 18 for every 3rd party app. Just hold the icon on the home screen. Maybe this helps :)
