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.

Best Answer
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.
Alternatively, in February of 2019, WhatsApp updated their iOS application to support exactly this feature. To enable, go to WhatsApp Settings→Privacy→Screen Lock. This supports Touch ID and Face ID.
