Guided Access (Kid’s Mode) for iPhones, iPads, and iPods

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

To Start a Guided Access Session

• Open the app you want to run.
• Triple-click the Home button.
• Adjust settings for the session, then click Start

To Disable app controls and areas of the app screen

• Circle any part of the screen you want to disable.
• Use the handles to adjust the area.

End a Guided Access session

• Triple-click the Home button.
• Enter the Guided Access passcode.
