How Guided Access can limit your device to a single app
YOU’LL NEED
iPad, iPhone or iPod touch
Genius tip!
Guided Access limits your device to a single app. If you want more flexibility, use Screen Time to enable or limit multiple apps instead.
The thing about having personal devices such as iPads and iPhones is that you don’t necessarily want other people to access everything that’s on them.
For example, you might want party guests to be able to queue up songs without getting into your other apps, or you might want to limit a child’s usage to a single child-friendly app, or you might want house guests to be able to use Safari without having a look at any of your personal data or documents. That’s where Guided Access comes in. It locks down your device to a single app, and it can also limit what happens in that app.
