Guided access not working in iOS 8 on iPad Mini Retina

Same issue here on iPhone 4S

I tried resetting, rebooting etc but guided access doesn't work on ipad mini anymore after installing ios8.

Anyway to reverse the update?

I Am having the Same problemish on my iPad min with redna display after installing iOS 8. The problem is intermittent. with out doing anything to my iPad guided will work for a while and then for no reason will stop working. This problem will require a fix from apple.

SSame issue on original iPad mini. Was hoping 8.0.2 patch would fix it, but did not. It really appears iOS 8 was the worst release of them all.

I Am having this problem also after updating to iOS 8

On my iPad Mini with no Retina is having problems like for an: I cant get on my games and cant do anything on so is there any fix to it?

Same here. Guided Access does not work on my new iPhone 6 since installing iOS 8.0.2. I've tried shutting down my phone completely and it still doesn't work.

Same here on iPad 2.

Weird thing #1 is that I tried reset setting and it worked. I was pleased with that.

I thought I had problem with vlc (they just removed from store) so i want for a full reset and restore via cloud. Then guided access is not working whatever i try. I tried recovery with itunes.

Weird thing #2 is that on iPhone 4s guided access is working. But I never used it there. The first time I used guided access with iPhone 4s was with ios 8

I have been having this issue on my son's iPad 3 as well, the only way I've been able to get it work is doing a hard reset (holding home and lock buttons until screen turns off, then waiting until the Apple logo comes back up). Once I've done that Guided Access works again without an issue. However, after a day or so it needs to have this done again in order for it to start working.

I haven't had this issue on my iPhone 5 or my wife's iPhone 4S, however her iPad 2 has the same issue while my 1st Gen iPad Mini doesn't.

The only thing that I can think is that some of the Accessibility changes that were made to accommodate third party keyboards (or other features) is affecting Guided Access. I first thought this because third party keyboards won't work if you have Guided Access enabled on your device (which is an annoyance all on its own), but it was the only thing that seems to have changed in iOS 8 that directly applies to Guided Access.

Hoping this gets fixed with the next patch as it complicates things with young kids who are smart enough to press the home button, but don't realize what that will do to their video/game.

Bug also in reset settings. It may deletes your iWork files!

updated an Ipad Air to IOS 8.02. Now Guided Access no longer works. This renders apps you want locked essentially useless. I've tried every trick I found on the internet to get guided access working. No luck.

I am amazed that this option would just stop working. How could that possibly be? Was there ever any testing done before the release of 8.0.2? SMH

I Have same issue . Spent almost 1 hour with Apple care support . Interestingly I was told that Apple disabled this feature on iOS 8 while you are in regular or face time call . Yes you are hearing it right . You can no longer be able to to enable guided access while you are on any type of call. I repeatedly checked with senior tech support person and she has some internal notes that it is willful change from Apple and not a bug .i wonder why Apple would do such kind of things . But hey, it's Apple . There should have seen something that would have forced them to disable it . But unfortunately it's hurting me bad . I can longer give my phone to my kids for a face time call with their grand parents . Poor grandma . They are gone miss their grand children. my iphone is gonna no more part of my family . It will be just my personal device for good 😝

i have the same issue in my iphone 6 128 GB , i triple click the home button and nothing happens ...

Same issue on iPad 2. Made it work again by going into Settings => General => Reset => Reset Keyboard Dictionary
