Apple iPhone SMS Lock

Does the iPhone have some sort of privacy feature so that it will ask you for a passcode before you can look in the SMS App? Like most modern phones do.

Thanks.

Not before you can get into the SMS app. But It does have a keypad lock which you can set so that you have to enter it before using the phone at all.

I was going to say that. I've not seen one with a seperate SMS lock. I think if someone got hold of your phone, reading your SMS would be the least of your worries.

I know a few samsungs allow this but have not seen a SE that does.

Certainly not all Samsungs either.

Some Motos do (certainly my original V3 did) & my Samsung did (Can't remember the name of the one I had - updated version of the E700).

Then ventured into the world of Nokia & Symbian phones , & had this 3rd party application installed on my old N73 & my current N95 8gb.
