Preventing Participants From Exiting the App

Use Guided Access after you launch your booth to keep your iPad secure

Written by Emily Devlin

Guided Access is an Apple security feature that keeps anyone from leaving the app currently in use. With Simple Booth, it locks participants into the booth flow, from "Tap to Start" through photo editing and sharing and back to "Tap to Start." This helps protect both your iPad's sensitive information and your booth settings.

Turning on Guided Access

You need to set up Guided Access, including choosing a passcode, before you can use it. After that, you can turn it on once your booth is launched. Learn more in Apple's Guided Access guide.

Exiting Booth Mode is intentionally indirect so it works smoothly with Guided Access. See Returning To Your Settings.
