Lock the phone to one app
Hold the phone in a single app until you decide otherwise.
Guided Access on an iPhone, and pinning on Android, hold the screen in one app until you type your code.
The Home button, the back arrow and every banner stop answering.
Key points
- Guided Access and screen pinning hold a phone inside one app
- Only your code lets it out again
What to remember
- The way out is your code, not a button.
- A lock around one app, and you hold the key.
Try this
Search your Settings for Guided Access, or Pinning on Android. Turn it on and try to leave an app.
