Hi Guys,
Did you know that you can pin an app’s screen to keep it in view until you unpin it? With the screen pinned, you can hand your phone to a friend, and they will only be able to use that app and will not be able to access any other application on your phone. To use your other apps again, you can unpin the screen by entering a password.
Follow these instructions to set it up for Android and iPhone.
For Android:
Turn on App Pinning:
- Go to Settings
