It is quite normal for businesses to set a browser app, like Chrome or Firefox, in a single-app kiosk mode. However, devices may also be configured to run a business\u2019 privately developed app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technically, single app kiosk mode does not let end-users access other apps on the device and they also cannot exit the app, thus making it a dedicated device for that specific app. This is usually configured by the IT admin and can only be locked and unlocked by them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Devices in single-app kiosk mode are usually used as digital signage, mobile POS systems, airport web kiosk browsers, service kiosks in the hospitality industry, and ticket booking kiosks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Multi-app kiosk mode<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multi-app kiosk mode lets devices access multiple applications. End-users can operate between multiple apps (or access device settings) in a controlled environment that is configured by the IT admin. The apps that are allowed are also predefined or preconfigured. Therefore, end-users can only access the ones allowed by the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of configuration is generally used by businesses that need two or more apps to function at the same time, or when end-users need to access some of the device settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Devices in multi-app kiosk mode are generally used in the service industry, for educational purposes, or they are used by delivery and manufacturing companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prerequisites for enabling Android Kiosk mode &nbsp;To allow Kiosk mode on Android devices such as tablets, mobile devices, and Android TVs using the Android Kiosk software, users must make sure that the following prerequisites are met: Samsung devices are running OS 4.0 and above Android devices running OS 5.0 and above are registered as the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":998,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[152],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gorzl.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/997"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gorzl.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gorzl.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gorzl.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gorzl.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=997"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.gorzl.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/997\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":999,"href":"https:\/\/www.gorzl.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/997\/revisions\/999"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gorzl.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gorzl.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gorzl.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gorzl.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
