Locked Apps App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — Require Face ID, App Lock, Lock Apps & 锁定应用 / 需要面容 ID zh-Hans Copy

Who this is for

Western indie iOS and iPadOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — whose product page prominently markets Locked Apps / Require Face ID / App Lock on iPhone and iPad:

• Require Face ID to open apps — gallery frames or description bullets showing per-app lock toggles, Face ID prompts before launching a protected app, or Home Screen app icons behind biometric gates
• Lock individual apps — marketing that buyers choose which apps need authentication — Messages, Photos, banking, notes, social — not a whole-device kiosk session
• Touch ID app lock & passcode fallback — screenshot badges for Touch ID unlock paths and device passcode when biometrics fail
• Protect private apps on the Home Screen — when your en-US listing emphasizes keeping specific app icons locked until the owner authenticates
• Ultra Locked Apps branding — when your en-US listing uses Ultra Locked Apps or premium-tier per-app lock branding as the hero story
• Privacy and security utility apps — indie apps whose en-US listing sells app-lock workflows, Require Face ID settings captures, or 锁定应用 vocabulary buyers expect in China

You finished the en-US listing. The zh-Hans row exists or is in progress, but China buyers still see English searchable fields and English Locked Apps screenshot captions. You need paste-ready Connect storefront text — not a contractor to implement LocalAuthentication or Screen Time APIs in your binary.

If your hero story is a Photos Locked Folder private photo vault — not Home Screen app locking — see Locked Folder listing (zh-Hans). If your lead is single-app kiosk lock — not per-app Require Face ID — see Guided Access listing (zh-Hans). If the entire China page is still English on every field, start with China App Store still shows English or the AppLocale product page.

What Locked Apps marketing is — and what your listing may claim

Western indie listings often show one or more of these surfaces on the US product page. AppLocale covers paste-ready zh-Hans copy for whichever your screenshots and description already claim:

• Require Face ID toggle (需要面容 ID) — gallery frames showing Settings or in-app toggles that require Face ID before opening a protected app
• App Lock per-app enrollment (锁定应用) — marketing that buyers pick which Home Screen apps stay locked until authenticated
• Face ID to Open Apps (面容 ID 打开应用) — when copy emphasizes biometric unlock on app launch, not vault photos or kiosk sessions
• Touch ID app lock (触控 ID 应用锁) — Touch ID unlock paths on iPad or older iPhone hardware where your gallery shows Touch ID prompts
• Device passcode fallback (设备密码) — when screenshots show passcode entry after failed biometrics on locked app launch
• Ultra Locked Apps branding — when your en-US listing uses Ultra Locked Apps as a premium-tier per-app lock feature name on hero frames

Your gallery may lead with a Require Face ID settings capture on one frame and a locked app icon grid on the next. zh-Hans caption lines should name the correct surface per frame — per-app biometric lock is not a Photos Locked Folder vault, not a hide-from-library album, and not a Guided Access kiosk session.

Locked Apps is not Locked Folder, Hidden Album, Guided Access, Screen Time, or Lock Screen widgets

Privacy and parental-control apps blur several shop guides indie teams conflate. AppLocale covers listing metadata only — Locked Apps and Require Face ID app lock as the lead gallery theme:

• Locked Apps & Require Face ID (this page) — lock individual apps on the Home Screen behind Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode, require authentication to open an app, protect private apps — 锁定应用, 锁定 App, 需要面容 ID, App Lock vocabulary.
• Locked Folder (different) — Photos private photo and video vault behind Face ID — 锁定相簿, 私密相册. See Locked Folder listing guide — media vault, not Home Screen app locking.
• Hidden album (different) — hide photos from the library without passcode-protected Locked Folder vault semantics — 隐藏相册. See Hidden album listing guide — hide-from-library, not app lock.
• Guided Access (different) — single-app kiosk lock, session passcode to exit, disable Home button during a session — 引导式访问. See Guided Access listing guide — kiosk mode, not per-app Require Face ID on the Home Screen.
• Screen Time & App Limits (different) — usage caps, Downtime schedules, daily time budgets — App 限额. See App Limits listing guide — usage limits, not biometric app unlock.
• Lock Screen widgets (different) — Lock Screen accessories, complications, and glance widgets — not locking apps behind biometrics. See Lock Screen widgets listing guide — accessories, not app lock.
• Communication Safety & Content & Privacy (different) — parental content filters and communication safety settings — separate Screen Time surfaces, not Require Face ID app lock marketing.

Your screenshots may show Face ID icons on adjacent frames. Listing copy should name the correct surface per frame — a Require Face ID app-lock toggle is not a Locked Folder photo vault, not a Guided Access kiosk dashboard, and not an App Limits daily budget slider.

Listing metadata vs LocalAuthentication engineering vs screenshot design

Locked Apps-aware apps blur three workstreams indie teams merge:

• App Store Connect listing metadata — name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, screenshot overlay captions on the zh-Hans row. AppLocale scope.
• LocalAuthentication & per-app lock in the app — LAContext prompts, app launch gates, lock enrollment flows, Screen Time API hooks if your app integrates them. Engineering scope — not AppLocale.
• Screenshot composition — device frames, Require Face ID settings captures, locked app icon grids. Design scope — AppLocale delivers caption lines you paste or hand to a designer.

Implementing LocalAuthentication, per-app lock gates, or Screen Time integrations in Xcode does not fill Connect zh-Hans rows. This page covers the first bucket for Locked Apps-centric product pages — Require Face ID app-lock marketing, not Photos vault copy and not kiosk session copy.

Require Face ID setup vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs

Teams assume app-lock capability on device covers storefront language. Biometric gates, Screen Time APIs, and Connect actually separate in-app lock behavior from product-page copy:

• Require Face ID enrollment — choosing which apps need authentication before launch. Controls runtime access on the device — not App Store language. AppLocale does not perform this.
• LocalAuthentication & passcode gates — Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode prompts on app open. Listing copy may mention unlock flows; implementing LAContext is engineering work, not Connect metadata.
• Home Screen app icon protection — marketing that specific app icons stay locked until the owner authenticates. Product-page copy should describe that workflow; building launch interceptors is in-app engineering.
• Pricing and Availability → China — makes the app downloadable on the China App Store. Separate from language rows.
• App Store tab → Chinese (Simplified) localization — independent row for title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, screenshots, and caption lines. Empty or English here means China buyers see English fallback regardless of app-lock support in the binary.

Working Require Face ID integration and a localized China listing are both required when you sell on the China storefront — neither replaces the other. AppLocale covers how you describe Locked Apps, App Lock, and 需要面容 ID value on the product page in zh-Hans, not how you wire biometric unlock in code.

English Locked Apps phrases China buyers still see

Common en-US marketing lines that leak onto the China product page when zh-Hans caption fields are empty or copy-pasted from the US gallery:

• Locked Apps — feature name left in Latin script on Require Face ID settings captures
• Require Face ID — toggle label still untranslated on app-lock screenshots
• App Lock — overlay headline on per-app enrollment frames
• Lock Apps — description bullet still English when subtitle is zh-Hans
• Face ID to Open Apps — marketing callout for biometric launch gates still Latin
• Touch ID app lock — Touch ID unlock badges left untranslated on iPad frames
• Ultra Locked Apps — premium-tier app-lock branding left untranslated on hero frames
• Protect your private apps — feature paragraph still English in description body

Chinese buyers searching for 锁定应用 or 需要面容 ID still land on English-only overlays — that reads as an incomplete localization pass, not a bilingual Locked Apps-aware privacy app.

EN → zh-Hans listing phrase examples (Locked Apps scope)

Paste-ready zh-Hans should match how Chinese App Store readers describe app locking — not a word-for-word mirror of English Settings strings. AppLocale adapts these patterns to your English source:

• Locked Apps → 锁定应用 or 锁定 App — names the per-app lock feature buyers recognize
• Require Face ID → 需要面容 ID — toggle and settings marketing for Face ID app lock
• App Lock → 应用锁 — general app-lock positioning on subtitle and keywords
• Lock Apps → 锁定应用 — action-oriented enrollment framing
• Face ID to Open Apps → 面容 ID 打开应用 — when copy emphasizes biometric unlock on launch
• Touch ID app lock → 触控 ID 应用锁 — when gallery shows Touch ID unlock paths
• Require authentication to open → 打开前需验证身份 — when frames show generic auth gates
• Ultra Locked Apps → Ultra 锁定应用 or idiomatic premium-tier phrasing — only when your English listing already uses that branding
• Keyword field — Before: Locked Apps,App Lock,Require Face ID,Face ID apps,lock apps → After: 锁定应用,应用锁,需要面容ID,面容ID打开应用,锁定App

zh-Hans Locked Apps captions can differ idiomatically from en-US overlays when the on-screen feature is the same — avoid mirroring comma-heavy English marketing onto tight screenshot art. Do not claim Locked Folder vault, Guided Access kiosk, or App Limits usage caps your app does not market.

Why English Locked Apps copy hurts on the China storefront

Privacy and security utility apps compete on the China App Store. Buyers evaluate app-lock value before they enable Require Face ID in Settings or your in-app enrollment:

• App-lock value buried in Latin script — English "Require Face ID" on zh-Hans frames signals the team did not finish China marketing
• Lock labels left untranslated — App Lock badges and toggle lines show English when caption fields are empty
• Description mismatch — zh-Hans body copy mentions 锁定应用 while screenshot overlays still say "Locked Apps"
• Search intent gap — subtitle and keywords may miss 锁定应用, 应用锁, or 需要面容 ID terms buyers actually type
• Conflated with Locked Folder — photo vault copy on the same page without separating Home Screen app lock
• Conflated with Guided Access — kiosk session copy when your gallery only shows per-app Require Face ID toggles
• Competitor contrast — native zh-Hans app-lock apps in the same category show Chinese Require Face ID overlays; English badges look like an import

Better zh-Hans Locked Apps marketing copy improves product-page clarity for China traffic — it does not replace LocalAuthentication code, Screen Time API integration, or Apple review decisions.

Common mistakes on zh-Hans Locked Apps listings

• Only localizing title and description — screenshot overlays still say "Locked Apps" and "Require Face ID" on every app-lock frame
• Conflating with Locked Folder — 锁定相簿 and 私密相册 fit photo vault marketing; 锁定应用 fits Home Screen app lock frames
• Conflating with Hidden album — 隐藏相册 fits hide-from-library flows; app-lock frames need 应用锁 vocabulary
• Conflating with Guided Access — 引导式访问 fits kiosk single-app lock; Require Face ID per-app lock is a different buyer story
• Conflating with App Limits — App 限额 fits daily usage budgets; biometric app unlock needs 需要面容 ID copy
• Conflating with Lock Screen widgets — Lock Screen accessory copy is not app-lock marketing
• Machine-translating "Locked Apps" literally — awkward strings instead of idiomatic 锁定应用 or 应用锁 phrasing Chinese reviewers use
• Assuming LocalAuthentication APIs = localized storefront — LAContext in the binary does not auto-fill Connect overlay fields
• English text burned into PNG exports — Connect caption fields are Chinese but the image file still embeds English Require Face ID headlines (a design fix, not a metadata paste)

What good zh-Hans Locked Apps listing copy looks like

Locked Apps-centric listings name per-app biometric lock value in plain zh-Hans — not a word-for-word mirror of English brochure lines:

• Subtitle — one clause on app-lock value: "锁定应用，需要面容 ID" or "应用锁保护隐私应用" — not vague "提升手机安全"
• Keywords — mix category terms with app-lock intent (锁定应用, 应用锁, 需要面容 ID); see Simplified Chinese keywords guide
• Description — short paragraphs for Locked Apps, Require Face ID, App Lock, Face ID to Open Apps, and Touch ID app lock if you market them — mirror screenshot sequence
• Screenshot overlays — short lines naming what the frame shows: 锁定应用, 需要面容 ID, 应用锁, 面容 ID 打开应用 — not "Locked Apps" pasted through machine translation
• Honest scope — when your gallery shows per-app lock only, caption sheet does not claim Locked Folder vault or Guided Access kiosk workflows
• Voice match — same 你/您 and punctuation habits as your other zh-Hans fields

Connect checklist before you order Locked Apps listing copy

1. Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — confirm the zh-Hans row exists; note which fields are still English
2. Audit Locked Apps screenshot overlays — export English caption text per frame; list lines mentioning Locked Apps, Require Face ID, App Lock, Lock Apps, Face ID to Open Apps, Touch ID app lock, or Ultra Locked Apps
3. Verify subtitle and keywords — do they mention app lock in Chinese or still mirror en-US?
4. Check description bullets — Locked Apps feature paragraphs may be English-only even when title is zh-Hans
5. Separate Locked Apps vs Locked Folder scope — if frames show photo vault UI, confirm whether you need app-lock copy or Locked Folder copy (see Locked Folder guide)
6. Separate app lock vs kiosk scope — if frames show Guided Access session lock, confirm those belong on the Guided Access guide — not this page
7. Plan re-export if text is burned in — Connect caption fields help only when overlays are editable text layers, not English baked into PNGs
8. Verify China in availability — Pricing and Availability includes China if the storefront should show zh-Hans copy

What AppLocale delivers

For one app on the zh-Hans row, paste-ready Simplified Chinese listing copy for Locked Apps-marketing fields you specify:

• Title, subtitle, keywords, description — zh-Hans rewrite aligned with your English Locked Apps / Require Face ID / App Lock positioning
• Promotional text — when bundled in your brief
• Screenshot overlay and caption lines — zh-Hans lines for frames showing Locked Apps, Require Face ID, App Lock, Lock Apps, Face ID to Open Apps, Touch ID app lock, and Ultra Locked Apps workflows
• English source alignment — when your en-US Locked Apps copy also needs tightening, we note both sides in the deliverable
• 24-hour turnaround — delivered to the email on your Stripe receipt after checkout and intake

Human rewrite from your current English listing — not a machine translation dump. Default $79 scope targets listing metadata and Locked Apps overlay lines; ask if you also need Locked Folder-specific copy bundled — see the AppLocale product page.

• Does not write Lock Screen widgets or Lock Screen accessories listing copy

FAQ

Does enabling Require Face ID or Locked Apps auto-fill my China App Store listing?

No. Require Face ID toggles and per-app lock enrollment control runtime access on the device — they do not fill App Store Connect localization rows. If zh-Hans fields are empty, the China product page falls back to en-US copy.

Which App Store Connect fields does AppLocale rewrite?

Paste-ready Simplified Chinese for listing fields you specify: app name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text when included, and screenshot overlay or caption lines such as Locked Apps, Require Face ID, App Lock, 锁定应用, 需要面容 ID, and 应用锁 — rewritten from your English originals.

Does AppLocale implement LocalAuthentication or Screen Time APIs?

No. AppLocale rewrites App Store Connect listing metadata and screenshot caption text only. LocalAuthentication integration, Screen Time API hooks, and in-app lock engineering are outside AppLocale scope.

How is this different from Locked Folder, Hidden Album, Guided Access, and Screen Time pages?

Locked Apps listing copy covers locking individual apps on the Home Screen behind Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode. Locked Folder covers Photos private photo vault — 锁定相簿. Hidden album covers hide-from-library photos. Guided Access covers single-app kiosk lock. App Limits covers usage caps and Downtime. Each surface has a separate guide.

Why do Locked Apps captions still show English on China?

Screenshot overlay lines are per localization. English Require Face ID badges on the en-US gallery do not propagate to zh-Hans until you paste Chinese caption text into the Chinese screenshot set.

What do I send after AppLocale payment?

Your live App Store listing URL, current English listing fields, Locked Apps screenshot overlay lines (Require Face ID, App Lock, Lock Apps, Face ID to Open Apps, Ultra Locked Apps), target locale (zh-Hans), and any frame counts. Reply from the email address on your Stripe receipt — we deliver to that Stripe email within 24 hours.

Will localized Locked Apps copy improve Search ranking in China?

We do not guarantee keyword position or download growth. Apple indexes title, subtitle, keywords, and description for Search. Complete zh-Hans Locked Apps marketing helps buyers who already landed on your product page understand app-lock value.

How much does AppLocale cost?

$79 one-time via Stripe checkout. No subscription. Seller is Fortune Insight, LLC.

What is AppLocale not?

Not LocalAuthentication or Screen Time API engineering, not Locked Folder or Hidden album hero listing copy, not Guided Access kiosk listing copy, not App Limits usage-cap listing copy, not Lock Screen widgets listing copy, not Communication Safety listing copy, not screenshot design, not Connect submission, not ranking guarantees, not QuantRadar, and not investment or legal advice. We do not invent reviews, ratings, or traffic numbers.
