Password protect WhatsApp iOS app
I’d like to place a passcode over the WhatsApp iOS app.
So that when the app is opened, it does not launch right away, but rather asks for passcode verification first.

Go to Settings→Screen Time→App Limits→Add Limit→Social Networking.
Add a one minute limit, then all consecutive launches will require passcode entry in order to permit access to the app.

To hide display of notification content, on your iPhone go to Settings app → Notifications → WhatsApp → Show Previews and select Never.
