新的停车问题！不谈技巧谈位置 你真的选对了吗？

When you play games on your iPhone, especially in free games, you will most likely encounter ads that you have to watch before continuing. Although waiting for 10 seconds or even a minute may be irritating, what is even more annoying is that when trying to click on the small "x" to close the ad, accidentally touching the ad and jumping to the corresponding app or website.

Sometimes these close buttons are designed to be very small to accidentally open ad links to make it difficult to accurately click; sometimes their colors and backgrounds blend into one, making them difficult to recognize and accurately click. If you are not focused or operate carefully, it is easy to miss the tiny "x" button.

To avoid ads accidentally jumping to the App Store, Safari or the default browser you set, there is actually a way to exit ads more safely, allowing you to quickly return to the game and no longer be bothered - this is where Guided Access is available.

"Boot-in-Open Access" is an accessibility feature that limits your iPhone to the currently used app, cannot exit the app, and cannot use buttons or gestures that will return to the home screen. This feature is usually used to prevent messy operations when lending your phone to children, but it is also suitable for solving our current gaming advertising troubles.

If you are playing a game with outgoing ads, after enabling "Guided Access", even if you accidentally click on the ad, you won't jump to other apps. Clicking on any area of the ad will not trigger a jump, you can only close the ad in the right way and continue the game.

Enable bootable access

Open the Settings app and enter the Accessibility feature. This tutorial is based on iOS 14 or iOS 13 systems. If you are using iOS 12, you need to go to Settings –> General –> Accessibility.

Under the “General” heading at the bottom of the page (Learning in iOS 12), find the “Guideline Access” option. After entering this menu, turn on the "Boot Access" switch. At this point, the basic settings have been completed. Of course, you can also make some personalization as needed, but it is not necessary.

In Password Settings, you can set a dedicated four-digit password to exit guided access. You can also choose to use Face ID or Touch ID to exit, or enable password and biometrics at the same time. In "Time Limit", you can set a prompt or voice reminder before the end of the countdown. The "Accessibility Shortcut Key" allows you to call up a shortcut menu containing the auxiliary tools you have set when you click the side button or the home button three times.

Start guided access in-game

Remember that once “Boot Access” is enabled, your device will be locked in the current app. Therefore, you need to enter the game first and then activate the feature.

Once you enter the game, quickly triple the side button or home button depending on your iPhone model. If you do not set other features (such as assistive touch, zoom, smart inversion, etc.) as a three-click shortcut, the system will immediately display the "Boot Access" option. If there are other tools that bind the three-click operation, you need to select "Bootline Access" from the pop-up menu.

Then click "Start", and the system will prompt you to enter your password (if you have not set the master password before). This password is different from your phone's unlock password and is only used to exit guided access - of course you can set it to the same. After entering, confirm again.

If necessary, click "Options" at the bottom to make further settings. You can enable side buttons or home buttons, volume keys, or turn off the device's motion sensing, keyboard input or touch functions. In addition, you can set a usage duration ranging from 1 minute to 23 hours and 59 minutes.

Test in-game ads

When an ad appears in the game, no matter where you click on the ad, there will be no jump. You will not be taken to the App Store, Safari, or other browsers. The only responsive actions in an ad are limited to its internal interactive content (such as mini-game trials) and the button used to close the ad and return to the game.

Therefore, even if you don't click the correct close button for the first time, you have multiple chances to click on the correct position again without worrying about misoperation and causing the game to jump out of the game.

Turn off boot access to exit the game

When you want to end the game, you must close "Boot Access" before you can exit the app. If you enable Face ID or Touch ID in the first step, just double-click the side button or home button to exit.

If only a password is set, you need to three-click the side button or home button and enter the password you set earlier. If you enable Accessibility Shortcuts and bind other tools, you need to select "Boot Access" from the action menu that pops up.

After that, you can close the game normally or switch to other apps.
