Builder Access in iOS - hidden but very useful feature for new parents

Today's children are beginning to use electronic gadgets, long before they fully learn how to manage them. It delivers certain inconveniences parents, but with the guide-access they will finally be able to breathe freely.

Excessive use of electronic toys for young children is very undesirable, especially because good parents always find occupation for his child. However, there are situations when you need to fully draw the attention of the child for a few minutes, and then the included on the iPad or iPhone Cartoon becomes an ideal solution. Linked to this is only one problem - the inquisitive researchers constantly strive to press the Home button or fumbling fingers across the screen accidentally switched video. In order not to be distracted every 2-3 minutes to incorporate the requirements of the baby cartoon, convenient to use guide-Fi.

Function is enabled in the Universal Access settings and allows you to block operation of the unit controls and set a time limit. In addition to the buttons separate interface area can be locked, activate the keypad and screen rotation. Access to the guide-access setting is locked with a password or Touch ID.

To access the configuration guide you need to open the Settings → General → Accessibility → Guides Access and incorporate the same name switch. In the same menu, you need to set a password, set up reminders about the end of the session (optional) and turn on the "Shortcut", so that when you press the Home button triple change the access guide. It's all.

Now run any video, for example, in the YouTube Kids app, and triple-click the Home button. A menu appears where you can set all the functions described above. To return to normal mode you need to call the menu guide access and click "Reject" in the upper left corner.

I can say from experience that the thing is really very useful. My child already knows how he include himself cartoons (thanks to voice search in YouTube Kids), so I use the guide-only access to a time limit. You, by the way, I recommend too.
