Returning To Your Settings

For security purposes, getting back to your settings isn't obvious

Written by Emily Devlin

Once your booth is launched into Booth Mode, there's no visible in-app button to return to settings. This is by design. Booth Mode works together with Guided Access to keep guests out of your app settings and the rest of your iPad.

Returning from Test Mode

If you're in Test Mode, returning to your settings is quick and easy.

  • After tapping Launch, choose Test Mode on the Preflight Check screen.

  • Once launched, you'll see a Return to Settings button on the "Tap to Start" screen.

This is ideal while you're still adjusting or reviewing your setup.

Returning from Booth Mode

If you've already launched into Booth Mode and need to make changes, there are two ways to return to your settings.

Option 1: Use Mission Control

  1. While the app is resting on the start screen, place two fingers side by side on the screen.

  2. Slowly slide your fingers apart.

  3. This opens Mission Control, a status screen with helpful info.

  4. Tap the left-side button to return to your settings.

This gesture is intentionally subtle to prevent accidental access, but we strongly recommend setting an iPad passcode or Face ID for extra protection.

Option 2: Quit the app

  1. Turn off Guided Access, if it's still active.

  2. Force quit the HALO app by swiping up from the app switcher.

  3. Find the HALO app on your iPad and reopen it.

  4. You'll return to your preset list and can adjust your settings before launching again.

Making changes from the online dashboard

You can make live changes to most of your settings from your online dashboard, without returning to the app's settings. The exception is photo layouts, which you can only edit in the in-app Design Panel.

  • Changes sync to the HALO app automatically, usually after a session or two, depending on your iPad's network strength.

  • To sync right away, tap Sync in Mission Control.
