Reply to comment by HelixViewer in How to temporarily turn off the touch screen by HelixViewer

Number of commands?

Enable

Triple tap power button to turn on.

Disable

Double tap power button to turn off via Face ID

Or Triple tap power button to bring up the disable screen, then hit the power button again.

It saves your settings from the previous session so you don’t need to fiddle with the setting each time.

It takes almost literally a single second to either enable or disable GA.

I do not understand. Guided Access does not disable the touch screen. The touch screen still works! I can still interrupt the playing of a video by touching the screen.

When you go to disable - or enable guided access for the first time an overlay shows. One of the options will be literally options on the bottom left.

Tap that and then you’ll see a new screen with a bunch of toggle switches on the bottom. One of them will be called Touch. Disable this and then touch is disabled.

I say this because I use it all the time for my kid but the options should keep the same for each guided access session. So you shouldn’t need to be going into options each time - only enabling and disabling as I mentioned in my previous.
