Here is an amazing iOS feature named Guided access which is not mostly used by iOS users.
The GuidedAccess feature is a perfect and cool feature found on the iPhone settings, that lets its users strictly secure their device privacy from intruders and unauthorized personnel.
How does the guided access feature work on iPhone?
Just as the name implies “GuidedAccess”, if this feature is enabled on the iOS device, the device will be accessible only on the actual application the feature was triggered to work on.
For example: Mr. A requested to watch video on Mr. B Instagram application, and Mr. B doesn’t want Mr. A to leave the instagram application to other applications.
Now Mr. B enables the guided_access
By Mr. B enabling the GuidedAccess feature, Mr. A will not be able to minimize or perform any other action on the Mr. B iOS device, other than just staying right on the instagram app.
