Where to use the Kiosk Mode

The intent of most people setting up kiosk mode is to prevent the user from running anything other than the browser based content in the full screen browser window or running the selected apps. Fully Kiosk app will help you to run the selected websites or apps in the kiosk mode. Users will also be restricted from making changes to any device settings. On many devices the admin can even restrict the use of hardware keys like the volume, power and home buttons on the Android device in the Kiosk mode. Fully Kiosk locks the device to its intended function and prevents unauthorized use by employees or customers. You can use the Kiosk mode on smartphones, tablets and other Android devices.
