3 Guided Access
Guided Access is a little-known accessibility feature that can have a range of uses. In a Guided Access session, you can disable certain areas of the screen, disable buttons, restrict use to a single app, and even prevent screen touches from registering at all. It can help keep you focused, or even keep private information on your phone safe when handing your device to a friend. To set it up, follow the steps below.
- Navigate to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access.
- Tweak your Guided Access settings.
- If it’s enabled and you want to turn on Guided-Access, just triple tap the Home button. (On iPhone X, launch an app and quickly swipe up from the bottom.)
- To end the session, just triple-tap again and enter the Passcode you set for the feature.
