After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
The Accessibility shortcut doesn't give me the option for guided access?
Welcome to iMore! Make sure you have accessibility turned ON before trying to select it as the shortcut for guided access. Otherwise it won't be an option.
You may need to Reset All Settings.
Reset All Settings
Go to Settings >General >Reset >Reset All Settings. This resets to default everything in Settings, including notifications, alerts, brightness, and clock settings like wake up alarms.
