Guided Access

Guided Access helps someone using iPad to stay focused on a particular task. Guided Access limits iPad to a single app, and lets you control which app features are available. Use Guided Access to:

•• Temporarily restrict iPad to a particular app

•• Disable areas of the screen that aren’t relevant to a task, or areas where an accidental gesture might cause a distraction

•• Disable the iPad hardware buttons

Use Guided Access: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access, where you can:

•• Turn Guided Access on or off

•• Set a passcode that controls the use of Guided Access and prevents someone from leaving an active session

•• Set whether iPad can go to sleep during a session

Start a Guided Access session: Open the app you want to run, then triple-click the Home button. Adjust settings for the session, then click Start.

•• Disable app controls and areas of the app screen: Circle any part of the screen you want to disable. You can use the handles to adjust the area.

•• Ignore all screen touches: Turn off Touch.

•• Keep iPad from switching from portrait to landscape or from responding to any other motions: Turn off Motion.

End a Guided Access session: Triple-click the Home button and enter the Guided Access passcode.

AssistiveTouch

AssistiveTouch helps you use iPad if you have difficulty touching the screen or pressing the buttons. You can use a compatible adaptive accessory (such as a joystick) together with AssistiveTouch to control iPad. You can also use AssistiveTouch without an accessory to perform gestures that are difficult for you.

Turn on AssistiveTouch: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch. To set Triple-click Home to turn AssistiveTouch on or off, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-click Home.

Adjust the tracking speed (with accessory attached): Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Touch speed.

Show or hide the AssistiveTouch menu: Click the secondary button on your accessory.

Hide the menu button (with accessory attached): Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Always Show Menu.

Perform a swipe or drag that uses 2, 3, 4, or 5 fingers: Tap the menu button, tap Gestures, and then tap the number of digits needed for the gesture. When the corresponding circles appear on the screen, flick or drag in the direction required by the gesture. When you finish, tap the menu button.

Perform a pinch gesture: Tap the menu button, tap Favorites, and then tap Pinch. When the pinch circles appear, touch anywhere on the screen to move the pinch circles, then drag the pinch circles in or out to perform a pinch gesture. When you finish, tap the menu button.
