Keep your child inside YubiKids (Guided Access and App pinning)
YubiKids can't block other apps. Here's how to use your device's built-in tools.
YubiKids manages time inside YubiKids. To stop a young child leaving the app, use the tools built into the device.
iPhone and iPad: Guided Access
- Go to Settings → Accessibility → Guided Access and turn it on. Set a passcode.
- Open YubiKids and triple-click the side button (or home button).
- Tap Start. To exit, triple-click again and enter the passcode.
Android: App pinning
- Go to Settings → Security (or Security & privacy → More security settings) and turn on App pinning. The name differs by phone maker.
- Open YubiKids, open the recent-apps view, tap the YubiKids icon and choose Pin.
Whole-device limits
For limits on other apps, use Apple Screen Time or Google Family Link alongside YubiKids.
