All iPads How do you secure your iPad in public to prevent misuse after theft?

Suppose I take my iPad with me to the gym to watch movies while on the treadmill and someone steals my iPad. Is there some way to prevent access to my email, messages and other sensitive information? Can you put the iPad in some type of safe mode while watching content?

I know that I can erase the iPad after someone steals it but I would need access to my iPhone and I believe the iPad would need to be connected to Wi-Fi or cellular for it to be locked, correct?

make each app secure by requiring Face ID etc before person can get access to the app. You can long press on an app to bring up the menu or go into settings

You could use guided access mode which allows you to require a passcode or FaceID to leave the current app. It’s under accessibility settings.

If I setup the iPad for a child using a second/dummy AppleID and then I install Netflix and HBO Max on it, will the content that I can access in my adult Netflix/HBO accounts still allow me to watch "normal" content? Or will it block content rated for adults?
