Kid’s mode, or guided access, locks your device into one app and disables the home button, on/off button, and volume button. Guided access gives you the piece of mind when your little one is using your IOS device.

To use guided access:

Tap Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access. From here you can:

  • Turn Guided Access on or off
  • Set a passcode that controls the use of Guided Access and prevents someone from leaving an active session
  • Set whether the device can go to sleep during a session
