With every iteration of iOS, Apple provides more and more accessibility features to its users to make iOS devices open to more people than ever before. iOS 6 includes something big. Guided Access is essentially a tool that allows you to restrict certain areas of your screen and physical buttons in order to make the device easier to use for someone with a disability, or for younger children.
Guided Access can even be used in the classroom, to stop children from exiting the current app while taking a test. It’s a really neat feature, and in my opinion, one of the most overlooked. If you’re exploring how to manage access on an iPhone, Guided Access is a great alternative to guest mode iPhone, as it lets you control app usage effectively. With iOS 6 beta 2, the feature is finally functional, so in this video I’ll show you how it can work.
