worth downloading...
Honestly, this app is a must have if you constantly have to hand your phone over to your kids or friends. It sets up a locked guest mode in seconds, so they can only use the apps you allow. No accidental texts, no snooping in your photos, and no random settings changed. Super easy to use and gives you total peace of...
Amazing app specially for kids who make calls randomly. Also helps to reduce screentime. much needed
