How to Set-up Guided Access for Assessment Use
Modified on: Tue, 26 Oct 2021 7:55 AMGuided Access limits your device to a single app and lets you control which features are available. You can turn on Guided Access when you let a child use a device for assessments, or when accidental gestures might distract them.
Set up Guided Access
- Go to Settings > Accessibility
2. Then turn on Guided Access.
3. Tap Passcode Settings, then tap Set Guided Access Passcode.
- Enter a passcode, then re-enter it. From here, you can also turn on Face ID or Touch ID as a way to end a Guided Access session.
Start a Guided Access session
- Open the app that you want. For assessments, the Apple Notes app is preferred.
- On an iPad Air 3 or later, triple-click the side button. On an iPad 7th Generation or earlier, triple-click the Home button.
- If you want parts of your screen to stop responding to touch, use one finger to circle those areas. You can move or resize the circle, or tap the X to remove it.
- Tap Guided Access, then tap Start.
Or to start a Guided Access session with Siri*, open the app that you want, then tell Siri "Turn on Guided Access".
