Teaching person with special needs to tap iPhone for access.

What have you found that works to teach someone to tap/touch icon to open App? I find person holds down too long and can not use new iPhone. Are there features to enable or disable?

IPhone Software idea Hello, I’m Ali a dad of twin girls which are 1 years old. They love Apple 🍏. iPads, iPhones what ever they can get their hands on. However whenever I put on a video they start scraping the screen and within seconds they’ve changed the vidoe or got onto my calls list or even worse tapping away on my eBay app. So I was wondering why no set up a lock button. Even on accessibility the way you can put a Home Screen button on your phone but set a lock button instead. So once a vidoe or something is playing press the lock button so that kids aren’t able to get off the screen. Let me know… your 💭 Ali

Guided Access Is it possible to limit an iPhone X to TWO apps instead of just one? (I’d like to lock down my kid’s phone so that it can ONLY call and text). Any way to do this? (With Guided Access, it’s only one-not both.)
