BlueMail allows you to secure your emails using native device security features. On iOS 18, you can lock the app using Face ID, while on Android, BlueMail provides an internal lock screen with options for both passcode and fingerprint authentication.
Locking BlueMail on iOS 18
iOS 18 provides a built-in app locking system that allows you to secure BlueMail using Face ID.
- Long press the BlueMail app icon: On the Home Screen or App Library, long press the BlueMail icon.
- Select “Require Face ID”: Tap the “Require Face ID” option.
- Authenticate with Face ID: Use Face ID to confirm the lock.
Once set, anyone trying to open BlueMail will be prompted to authenticate with Face ID, ensuring your emails stay private.
Enabling Passcode and Fingerprint Security on Android
For Android users, BlueMail provides an internal lock screen feature that supports both passcode and fingerprint security.
- Navigate to More... | Settings | Security | Lock Screen (Passcode).
- Tap on Turn passcode on to set up a new passcode.
- Optionally, enable fingerprint authentication if your device supports it and it's already configured in your device settings.
- You can also adjust the Lock screen timeout setting, which determines the time before the app locks again after being closed.
To enable fingerprint security on Android, ensure that fingerprint authentication is set up in your device's main settings.
