How to child lock an iPhone or iPad for your kid to use

Handing an iPhone or iPad to a child affords parents a few minutes of quiet -- but also risks an embarrassing video call to your boss or a toddler-initiated Amazon order. Despite having a slightly odd name, Apple's Guided Access feature is effectively a child lock for Apple devices like your iPhone or iPad. It allows you to lock your iPhone or iPad into a single app, such as Netflix when watching a video, so that your little ones can't access other areas of your devices. It also means they can't accidentally press to get out of the app either, hopefully reducing the number of times you have to reload Peppa Pig or Paw Patrol.
