Single App Mode allows you to configure a device for a specific purpose. Using Single App Mode lets you lock any supervised iPadOS, iOS, or tvOS device to one app to focus the device for a single need.

A feature of Single App Mode is that you can control how users interact with the device by enabling or disabling any of the following:

  • Touch input

  • Screen rotation

  • Volume control

  • Ring/silent switch

  • Sleep/wake button

  • Screen auto-lock

  • Accessibility features

Note:
  • You cannot manually or automatically update an app while the app is in Single App Mode.

  • You cannot manually shut down or restart a device when it is in Single App Mode. You can still send a Shutdown or Restart command from Jamf School to power off or restart the device.

    For more information on these remote commands, see Quick Action Commands for Device Management.
