Ios 12: the new battery feature and privacy concerns.

iOS and iPadOS

I don’t have a copy of the iOS 12 beta although since it’s coming out in a few hours anyway, I don’t suppose it matters.
After listening to the podcast which displays all the new features, one thing I noticed was that the battery feature has become more detailed, Breaking down device usage by hour and app.
However, since I share my iPad with others, I do have some concerns about privacy.
I was wondering if there was a way to hide this new feature, either by placing a passcode on it or turning it off completely.

You can't passcode protect the battery settings, although it'd be a great feature if possible in iOS 12.1 or 12.2.

As far as I can tell, no one else seems to be concerned about this so I’m wondering how to inform Apple.
Also, it’s not the screen time app I’m talking about which can be turned off and passcode protected, the new battery settings display a breakdown of time spent in each app every hour.
