Occasionally I must allow my iPad to be used for business where my team will be using a single app on it. Is there a way that I can limit their access to my Mail account? I know I can do the Parental thing on Safari and the store and such but don't see it for Mail.

iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 11.2.6, null

No, you cannot lock out the Mail App, but you can lock the iPad to a single App, so they have access to nothing else on it if that's what you want.


You can use Guided Access to a single App, they cannot exit from:


You can use Guided Access to:

  • Temporarily restrict your iOS device to a single app
  • Disable areas of the screen that aren’t relevant to a task, or areas where an accidental gesture might cause a distraction
  • Disable the hardware buttons
