Guided access should do the job. This website does a good job of showing how to enable guided access:

Thanks, its great app.

But still not answer my problem. Or i cant apply to my problem.

Let me explain my needed. I want my ipad only run video app or pro player. So people can only access pro player, people can choose all my files and play my files. But i dont want people to delete my files, go out from pro player and access to my other apps. I will make a box to cover my home button, so people only see my screen.


Can you help my with another app or can you guide me with guided access. I thing guided access cannot match with my problem


Thanks
