2. Triple-press the Home button (iPads with Home button) or Side button (Face ID models).
3. On the Guided Access screen, draw over the areas to disable (address bar, tabs, and navigation buttons).
4. Tap Start.

Ending Guided Access

2. Enter your Guided Access passcode or use Face ID/Touch ID, then tap End.
