Guided Access for two Apps only.

Is it possible to control an iPad via Guides Access so that you can only open two apps. It should then be possible to switch between these apps and the rest is not visible or the app is simply grayed out. If this is not possible via the guide access provided by the system, are there apps that allow such function?

Can't get Guided Access to work on iPad I did enable Guided Access on my iPhone so I know I am doing the right steps. But I set my iPad up the same way and when I go into an App and triple click the Home button it simply exits the App back to the Home screen filled with App icons. I have tried this with Photos, Safari, Google and other Apps. What is the problem and how to fix it so I can use Guided Access on the iPad to keep users in just one App (Photos)? All software is up-to-date.

Guided access issues on iPad since the previous update Does the new update fix issues with the guided access? Ever since the last update the guided access has not been working properly on my son’s iPad. He is able to access the areas that I block.

Why does my iPad not show the Home Screen when closing apps? I use an iPad with a keyboard, and when I close an app using CMD+W, I want the Home Screen to be displayed instead of the last app I was using. I don't know why this happens; it’s so annoying. Is there a way to make this the default behavior? Every time I close an app, I want to go directly to the Home Screen. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Guided Access is intended to lock the iPad into a single-App. This feature does not allow switching between different Apps.

Apple do invite submission of feature requests via its Product Feedback portal. For iPad and iPadOS:
