What is App Lock?
App Lock restricts an Apple device to a single app, enhancing security and focus by preventing access to other apps and system functions. This feature is particularly useful in environments where devices need to operate under strict usage guidelines, such as in educational settings, kiosks, or retail displays. When App Lock is active, the defined app reopens immediately after the device is restarted, ensuring continuous operation in the selected app. Configuration involves selecting the app to lock the device to, and disabling various features such as touch input, volume buttons, and motion detection to prevent users from exiting the app or modifying the device’s state. App Lock works on iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS.Add an App Lock Library Item
