Baby Lock Screen for iPhone: a Guided Access companion

Open a simple screen in Baby Lock Screen, then start Apple Guided Access to keep your iPhone in the app. Turn Touch off in Guided Access to disable screen interaction.

Two tools, one practical setup

Baby Lock Screen provides the still display, remembered preferences, optional dimming, and fade to black. Guided Access is Apple’s built-in feature for restricting the device to a single app.

The app cannot silently enable Guided Access or independently block all iPhone buttons, notifications, and system gestures. Start the system session yourself and check its options before use.

Set up your iPhone

In Settings, open Accessibility → Guided Access. Enable it and configure the passcode settings. Open Baby Lock Screen, start your chosen appearance, and use the side-button or Home-button accessibility shortcut to start Guided Access. Check that Touch is off.

A screen without ordinary tap reactions

Choose Black, White, Warm gray, Muted sage, or Still circles. Preferences stay saved for the next start. You can also use the app’s Shortcuts integration for a quicker start; Guided Access still needs its separate system setup.

When you want to use your phone again

End Guided Access with Apple’s shortcut and your configured authentication. After ending that session, hold two fingers on the screen for three seconds to return to the app’s controls. See support if the screen still looks black.

Looking to lock a video instead?

Baby Lock Screen does not run over YouTube, a video call, or another app. You can use Guided Access directly in the app you want to keep open. Our touch-lock guide explains the difference.

System behavior and labels can change with iOS. Reference: Apple’s Guided Access instructions.
