The Guided Access feature, native to iPhones (iOS), limits mobile phone use to one app. With the feature enabled, the user can tinker with that app as usual, but cannot return to the home screen or transition to another program. It is also possible to demarcate areas of the screen that will be locked, preventing anyone from pressing buttons or accessing unwanted areas by touching them, none while being performed. The functionality may be useful for controlling the use of the mobile phone by children or "curious".
You can also configure which features are active while using the service, such as using the keyboard, volume buttons and tapping the screen, and also determine how long to use the application. To disable the feature, I need to enter a password, previously registered by the owner of the phone. Here's how to use Guided Access and control app usage on iPhone. The function is also available on iPads and iPods Touch.
