Sound familiar? Then you might want to give this savvy dad’s iPhone hack a go.
In the clip, which has been viewed nearly 34 million times, TikToker Melissa Jean’s partner shows iPhone users how they prevent any fumbling fingers going through their phones.
Showing viewers how to utilise “Guided Access” to keep the user on one single app until turned off with the passcode.
By going into settings and turning on the “Guided Access” feature, you then go into the app you want to use and triple click the lock button on the right-hand side on the device.

From there, he types in his passcode and clicks on “Options” in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen and turns off all the iPhone function buttons – such as the swipe up feature and even set a timer for when you want your phone to return to normal.
After pressing resume, the phone will continue playing the show in the app selected without any access to the rest of your device.
To end this function early, simply press the lock button three times once again and it will ask you to type in your passcode again and then will return to the options menu which will allow you to turn off the “Guided Access” feature.
The new mum, from South Carolina, admitted that she previously promised herself that she wouldn’t give her children a phone – but changed her mind after actually having kids.
