Kiosk Home Screen

Kiosk mode is used to customize a device: its look and feel, enterprise branding, etc. You can then enable the kiosk mode and enforce policies on it. This feature is typically used to provide standalone, self-serve devices in a hospitality kiosk. In kiosk mode, device users typically cannot exit the main app to use other apps that are pre-installed with the Android system. In kiosk mode, you can also disable network connectivity and other Android settings.

NB. If your company has its own in-house Android app, the app must be declared a Home Screen App in the manifest. The development team would typically override the back key functionality so the user cannot exit the app. A good idea is to use kiosk mode in conjunction with sealed mode (from the connectivity → main tab). Sealed mode disables the notification bar at the top of the screen (where the time, battery strength and notification icons are placed) as the settings app can be opened from the notification bar and potentially mobile users could change settings via this route.
