Can I lock the iPhone for privacy?

Is there a way to lock the iPhone for privacy? I'm worry about, my friends are look to my personal data.

Absolutely. Just go to "Settings", then tap "General", then "Passcode Lock." From there you can create a passcode and tinker with the passcode settings. You can use a "simple passcode," which means choosing a 4-digit numeric passcode. However, I suggest turning "simple passcode" off this way you can create an alphanumeric passcode (i.e. letters and numbers) --this'll make it a lot more difficult for the bad guys to crack your passcode.

You can also set it up that if the wrong code is entered I believe 10 times it'll erase the data on the phone.

I think that "feature" is the default.

Anytime I've setup a lock on mine it hasn't been checked. I usually make sure it's not because I know how I am with remembering pass codes of any kind, which is generally why mine isn't locked lol
