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.

Now once that is done, the user will not be able to minimize, toggle notification bar or do anything outside that particular app you guided access.
