Android Enterprise

Kiosk Mode for fully managed devices

Add Kiosk Mode configuration for fully managed Android Enterprise devices. When Kiosk Mode is enabled, the device home screen is replaced with a launcher that restricts the device to managed apps. Apps appear on a single page in alphabetical order. It is also possible to individually select a single app as the launcher app, which cannot be broken out of on the device.

  • Translate only on the device itself, do not connect to Siri servers:

  • When enabled, connections to Siri servers for translation are disabled.
