Guided access equivalent on Android

[Soupersonic]

One feature that I really need in the Android from the iOS is the guided access. There is app pinning, I understand but if they could work more on it and make it such that we can make people stay on one specific page of that app by disabling touches on certain parts, disabling back button or gesture, disabling keyboard access, etc it would be much more convenient and useful.

This can be useful if we give the phone to another person for a call but then they snoop in the call log and contacts as its the same app and app pinning won't help here, or we show someone a photo in gallery but they end up swiping to other picture.

I don't give phone, or anything else that matters, to anyone I don't trust

I do not give my phone to anyone, full stop. I would like to know if people also give the bank statement or medical records to people. My phone is no different. It is my personal phone.

Some users are not very technical and sometimes they give their phones to some trusted individuals to get some help, but I do not think that restrictions could not be apply to the phone because then help cannot be given, or the owners are not technical enough to know the difference.

Hi @Soupersonic 

Welcome to the community forum.

I have never had that need. However, if you wish something to be implemented the best we can do, it is to send some feedback via the Members App.

Just a suggestion, it might seem very cool the black background with white letters, but it is harder to read.

Thank you Reylob, I've sent a message.

I completely agree with your point but at the same time I feel it is different for different people. For example when I give my phone to my close friends and family, not that they want to do anything bad to me but my friend did send a message to my crush when I gave him my phone for something, he didn't mean any harm to be but I believe if this feature existed it could avert pranks like this.
