Tip Tuesday: Turning on Kid Mode in iOS6
6:41 AM Posted In home key protection , kid proof ipad , tip tuesday Edit This 0 Comments »
iOS 6 has a new feature that makes it possible to disable the hardware buttons of any ios device! ( lock the screen onto an app that makes it where kids can not exit the app no matter what they push or touch)
Instructions:
Enabling “Kid Mode” in iOS with Guided Access
You will need iOS 6 or later to have this feature.
- Go to SETTINGS > then GENERAL
- Scroll down and click on “Accessibility”
- Then choose "Guided Access"
Turn to ON, then tap “Set Passcode” to set a password you’ll use to escape out of Guided Access mode.
Now that Guided Access is configured, you can use it to lock the iOS device into any app you want.
To turn it on:
- Launch the app of choice and simply triple-click the Home button to summon the Accessibility menu
