Guided Access Not Working on iPhone ? Try These Fixes!

Guided Access is more of a security feature on the iPhone device. This adds to the Accessibility section, where you can enable the guided access feature on the iPhone. When the user sets the guided access on their iPhone and enables it after launching a specific app then unless the pre-set passcode is provided, you can not go to the home screen or access other apps on the iPhone.

Many iPhone users shared their experience with an issue where the Guided Access feature on their iPhones stopped working and it does not work no matter how many times they tried. This can be because of technical issues within the iPhone or not updating the iPhone software.

In this post, we are going to show you different troubleshooting ideas to resolve this issue on the iPhone.

Fix 1 – Disable the Guided Access and Enable it

Step 1: Go to the Settings page on the iPhone first and click on the Accessibility option as shown in the below image.

Step 2: Scroll down to the bottom of the Accessibility page and select the Guided Access option by clicking on it.

Step 3: Now disable the Guided Access option by clicking on the toggle button to the grey color as shown below.

Step 10: Now once all is done, try using the guided access and see if this worked.

Fix 2 – Reset All Settings

If nothing else is working in your favour, it means there could be some settings on your iPhone that might need to be reset but it is really difficult to try and check which exactly to reset. So try resetting all the iPhone settings by performing Reset All Settings on your iPhone.

Additional Fixes

  1. Try force restarting your iPhone once which will clear all the minor software glitches within the iPhone and this can fix the issue.
  2. Sometimes, the Guided Access feature may not work for certain apps because of the restrictions set by the App developer. In that case, unfortunately, you cannot use the guided access for that particular app.
  3. Wenn auf dem iPhone die ältere Version der iOS-Software installiert ist und längere Zeit nicht auf die neueste Version aktualisiert wird, kann es durchaus zu unbekannten Problemen wie dem oben im Artikel beschriebenen kommen. Daher empfehlen wir unseren Benutzern, ihre iOS-Software auf dem iPhone zu aktualisieren.
  4. Sie können auch versuchen, mithilfe von Siri Befehle zu erteilen, um Guided Access nach dem Start der App zu starten. Dazu müssen Sie sagen: „Hey Siri! Aktivieren Sie den geführten Zugriff“. Dadurch wird der geführte Zugriff aktiviert, aber Sie müssen den geführten Zugriff manuell deaktivieren, da Siri nach der Aktivierung des geführten Zugriffs nicht mehr funktioniert.
