Guided Access helps an iPod touch user stay focused on a task. Guided Access dedicates iPod touch to a single app, and lets you control which app features are available. Use Guided Access to:
Temporarily restrict iPod touch to a particular app
Disable areas of the screen that aren’t relevant to a task, or areas where an accidental gesture might cause a distraction
Limit how long someone can use an app
Disable the iPod touch Sleep/Wake or volume buttons
Use Guided Access. While using an app, tell Siri “turn on Guided Access” or go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access, then turn on Guided Access. Within the Guided Access screen you can:
Turn Guided Access on or off
Set a passcode that controls the use of Guided Access and prevents someone from leaving a session
Tap Time Limits to set a sound or have the remaining Guided Access time spoken before time ends
Set whether other accessibility shortcuts are available during a session
Start a Guided Access session. After turning on Guided Access, open the app, then triple-click the Home button. Adjust settings for the session, then tap Start.
Disable app controls and areas of the app screen: Draw a circle or rectangle around any part of the screen you want to disable. Drag the mask into position or use the handles to adjust its size.
Enable the Sleep/Wake or volume buttons: Tap Options below Hardware Buttons.
Prevent iPod touch from switching from portrait to landscape or from responding to other motions: Tap Options, then turn off Motion.
Prevent typing: Tap Options, then turn off Keyboards.
Ignore all screen touches: Turn off Touch at the bottom of the screen.
Set a session time limit: Tap Time Limit Options at the bottom of the screen.
End the session. Triple-click the Home button, then enter the Guided Access passcode.
