What is Guided Access ?
Guided Access helps you to stay focused on a task while using your iPad. Guided Access limits your device to a single app and lets you control which app features are available.You can use the Guided Access option of iOS to disable certain areas of the app screen. Typically, people regulate access to areas where an accidental gesture might cause a distraction or even disable hardware buttons.
