What if I told you your iPhone already has a feature that lets you control what people can scroll, what apps they can access? >> Oh, hello there. Sorry to bother you. Could I just borrow your smartphone for a second? Wait. >> My smartphone? >> Yes, I am in a total bind. >> Well, we all know that feeling of pure, unadulterated panic when you hand your phone to someone. >> Wait, what is this photo right here? >> It is nothing. Do not open that. >> [laughter] >> THE CHILLS WHEN YOUR SISTER STARTS scrolling beyond the picture you showed her. >> [screaming] [laughter] >> And the chills when your friend decides to read more of the chat than you intended to show him. >> [laughter] >> What if I told you iPhone already has a feature that lets you control where people can scroll, what apps they can access, and even lock them into a single screen? It's called Guided Access. Let me show you. First, open Settings and go to Accessibility. Scroll down and tap Guided Access. Turn it on, then set a passcode or use Face ID. Now, open any app you want to lock. Triple click the side button, tap Guided Access, and hit start. That's it. The person can only use that app. They can't switch apps, browse your photos, read your messages, or snoop around your phone.
