Let me simplify this. Let’s say you have got kids at home and they use your iPhone or iPad for watching any kid’s content. You cannot monitor your kids round the clock. Kids being curious may try to open the browser and surf something that is not meant for them. They may try to purchase any game or any other things that are not required. So, there is this feature that allows you to disable the touchscreen on your iPhone or iPad before you give it to your child to use. They can only watch or use that one app that they require. If they are supposed to watch only YouTube Kids, they can’t use the iPhone or iPad to use some other app. iOS and iPadOS have a feature that restricts the touch function entirely on the phone. Let us know what is it and how to enable it.
