Guided access on ios.

There's also Repair mode if younwant something more drastic

I've used Android since the dawn of time, and i never knew this feature existed! Thanks! I work in IT so this will be helpful if I need to use a work app and hand my phone to someone else. Idk how I missed this feature for so many years.

The way the article talks about it, it is literally just app pinning. They also suggest only allowing guests to see select photos in your gallery when handing your phone which seems like more effort than its worth. Maybe just show your photos to people you trust?

Yeah. I believe it has a different name on iOS, but they both have the feature.

A really nice feature would be a hardware button triggering this mode!

And I think iOS literally lets you configure the button on the side of the phone to enable this mode by quickly pressing it three times or something like that.

Android has guest user/mode, even your screenshot talks about it.

Oh wow, that's awesome! It's on my phone and available. I have no use for it currently, but it's good to know it exists...

Well that's useful. Good thing to learn!

Isn't this AOSP? Have it on pixel

This is neat, i didn't know about it.

The article gives the example, though, of giving your phone to someone you specifically dont trust. The most dramatic example is an insurance card or ID to the police when you get pulled over. The best answer there is just dont ever do it.

This pin setting says the security on it is pretty weak and to not give it to people you dont trust.
