We've all had someone ask to borrow our phone to make a call and they just walk off! To keep them in the phone app use this. If they try to leave it they'll be asked for a pass code.

Step 5 of 7
Triple click the home button and you'll be able to circle areas of the screen they can't access! Like your call history or contacts

Just end it by triple clicking the home button and entering the password. You can turn it on before handing your phone to the said person.

This is probably a stupid question, but how do I make it go to guided access when someone else uses my phone, and then have guided access off when I use it?

@Erica Spencer You have to do all the steps first for it to work first. Once you activate the guides access triple clicking the home button will work

Hmm. I can't get it to work. Triple clicking the home button doesn't get me any where

Right. They cannot exit the app. Only the un circled components are useable.

So I went to guided access and circled what I wanted to remain private, so if anyone uses my phone, they can't use anything besides the keypad?
