Overview Top

Guided Access Mode is a lesser known feature of iOS. It allows you to lock your device to a single App, enabling several restrictions.

Specifically for Vainglory, Guided Access Mode has these benefits:
  • Block incoming calls
  • Block incoming messages, notifications, etc.
  • Disable Home & Sleep buttons.
  • Disable "Hey Siri"
  • Disable Notification Center & Control Center
  • Ignore all alarms

Best of all, Guided Access Mode is easily enabled and disabled with a triple click of the home button.
