Set Up Kiosk Mode

Kiosk mode lets you display only specified apps on a device.
There are two types of Kiosk mode.

  • Multi App: Device Owner
    You can specify multiple apps to display on the home screen. To put the device into Multi App Kiosk mode, you also need to complete some steps on the device.
  • Single App: Android 9 or later, Device Owner only
    You can specify one app to display on the home screen. No steps on the device are required to put it into Single App Kiosk mode.
