Is it possible to have more than one login on my phone with different apps on each login? Thinking of kids playing with it or not having access to settings or apps.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
 
The iPhone was conceived as a single user device and anyone logging in has access to all the apps on the phone as well as most of the settings. You can set a restrictions password that is different than the log in password that would prevent a user without access to the restrictions password from changing anything in the restrictions menus.

You can have more than one Apple ID on your iPhone and you would have to be logged in to the ID that was used to download an app in order to update it but anyone with access to the iPhone password could use any of the apps.

You can restrict the phone to one app only by going to Settings>General>Accessibility>Guided Access and set it up to allow access to one app only.
 
When you have apps that were downloaded with a different Apple ID than the one you use, and they need to be updated, a popup will appear, where you'll have to enter the password of that Apple ID. It's not necessary to sign out of your current ID and sign in with the one used to download the app.
