How to make use of Guided Access on an iPad

Guided Access is a useful feature on an iPad that allows you to lock an app to the iPad, meaning that only the selected app can be used.

This is useful as it:

  • Allows you to set a time limit for an apps use
  • Stops an app being closed – either deliberately or accidentally
  • Allows focus to be given on a specific app
  • Please note, this feature is not for everyone and some can find it frustrating.

Scott Lowther is the Advisory Teacher for ICT SEND and in this video he’s going to be giving you a quick guide on how to use Guided Access on the iPad.
