How To Reset Network Settings In IPhone 7 Plus?

Children can be quite clumsy with technology, especially the younger ones. By mistake, they can access all kinds of settings and options on your

iOS

device, possibly deleting or changing all kinds of data. Do you have photos or videos you’d like to keep forever? Better have a backup if you leave your device unattended with your kid, or you might come back and find all of it deleted! That’s why more and more

iDevices

and

Android

phones have a

Kid Mode

that lets parents put restrictions as to what their children can access on the phone or so that they don’t turn off a game/cartoon played on the phone by mistake.

On

iPhone

,

iPad

and other

Apple

devices this mode is called

Guided Access

. It lets you limit your child to a single application, and even control what features can be accessed in the app itself. If your kid is a bit younger, it’s easy for them to poke the screen and access ads seen during gameplay, or turn off a

YouTube

video with their favorite cartoon. Not to mention the beloved

Home button

, seen in some of the older devices, kids absolutely love to click it, so unless you turn it off, no game or cartoon will stay on for long!

First of all – please remember,

Guided Access

is a lock focused on a single app, so you might need to change some settings for different software, depending on if it’s a game, cartoon or a music player.

Start by opening the

Settings

menu.
Now, go to

General

and select

Accessibility

.
Scroll down and find the

Learning

option, select

Guided Access

from there.
Enable the

General Access

option and select your passcore, or use a

Touch ID

/

Face ID

lock.

Remember this password, you need it to turn Guided Access off!
Then, start the application you want to lock, so your child can use only it.
Now, quickly, click the

Home button

three times. If your device doesn’t have a

Home

button, instead click the

side button

three times.
This will open

Guided Access

and let you choose rules for it.
You can disable

Hardware Buttons

,

Touch

screen, or set a

Time Limit

.
Hardware Buttons

lets you turn on/off physical buttons, like the

Sleep/Wake

button,

Volume

,

Keyboard

and such.
Touch

lets you turn the entire screen off – simply choose the OFF option. You can also select ON to swipe areas you want to be disabled. This way the child can play a game but, for example, a part of the game with an ad can be turned off, so the child doesn’t tap on it by mistake.
Time Limit

simply lets you choose how long the app can be used before the phone is blocked.
Once done, simply press the

Start

button.

Once done, your device will be locked into the application. Pressing the

Home

button or swiping up doesn’t leave the app, so there is no chance for your child to do anything by mistake. You’ll see a message at the top of the screen that

Guided Access

is enabled. Press the

Home

button or the side button

three times

to enter the passcore and exit

Guided Access

.
