When I disable touch screen in Guided Access, I can still use touch screen in Netflix.

How do I disable the touch screen when watching Netflix if guided access doesn’t work?

update: after a software update my settings had changed and touch was no longer disabled for some reason. Had to toggle it back off. Works now :)

iPhone SE, iOS 13

Disable areas of screen to mouse input under guided access When using guided access (late 2019 iPad, 7th generation) we can disable areas of the touch screen to render them inaccessible. However a mouse pointer for some reason does not respect these touch restrictions. Is there a way to force the mouse to obey guided access screen area restrictions?

Switch Control impossible to disconnect How are you supposed to disable this when all of the instructions include at some point using the touch screen when the touch screen is disabled when switch control is enabled (upon initial logon)? My kid has accidentally enabled this feature again. It was pure luck last time to disable it. Now I'm completely locked out of the device because all of the instructions call for using the touch screen. Like click the power button 3 times then use the touch screen to uncheck switch control.........? Are you kidding me? Is this some sick joke? Why is it even possible to enable this feature when a "Switch controller" isn't present? This is some seriously poor programming. The screen is on landscape mode and isn't rotating. Not sure if this is important or not. It would be nice to be able to force a shutoff by pressing the power button like we used to. Perhaps if I could have got it to reboot this wouldn't be an issue. It would be nice to add a little "if" state to your code to check "if" there is no switch controller connected; don't allow this feature to be enabled. Seems like something simple enough that should have been added.

How much time limit did you set for the feature to turn off?

Use Guided Access with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple ...

Guided Access limits your device to a single app and lets you control which features are available.
