how to hide settings app

Hi all!


My daughter uses iPhone(iOS8.2). She keeps on changing the settings creating lot of extra 'work' for me.


I would like to setup with ideal settings and then hide the settings app so she cannot make any changes.


How can i do it?

You cannot password protect individual apps and there is not a way to hide the Settings. When you hand your iPhone to your daughter is there a specific app that she wants to use and just randomly going into the Settings or are there lots of apps she uses? If there is one specific app that she uses then you could enable Guided Access under Settings | General | Accessibility. That allows you to restrict her from leaving the app that she is in and you can even disable areas of the screen. Ending Guided Access would require a passcode or TouchID. Even if she uses other apps maybe you can set up Guided Access and when she's done with one app she would have to come to you to go to another app.
