How do I lock iOS devices to just one website using kiosk mode?Solved

Yes, @abel-j, this can be done by using Web Apps in iOS Kiosk Lockdown mode to allow access only to selected websites. Please follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Apps tab → click Add → choose Web App.
2. Enter the required website URL and save it as a Web App.
3. Navigate to the Policies tab and create a new policy or edit an existing one.
4. Under Kiosk Lockdown → iOS Kiosk Lockdown, select the Web App option.
5. Click Configure and add the required Web App.
6. Assign the policy to the target devices.

This will restrict the device so that only the configured website can be accessed.

Nice, that helps! But what if I need more than one site? Can I allow multiple websites in Kiosk mode?

Yep, you can. Just create multiple Web Apps—one for each website—and add all of them under iOS Kiosk Lockdown. Each Web App shows up on the kiosk screen, and users can only open those sites.

Got it. One more thing—our site has a bunch of subdomains like help.company.com and login.company.com. Do I really have to add each one?

Not always. Hexnode supports wildcard URLs in Web App Kiosk. So you can use something like https://*.company.com/*. That way, all subdomains and paths under that domain are allowed.

Before I try this, do the devices need any special setup for kiosk mode to even work?

Yes. iOS devices must be supervised to use Kiosk Lockdown features, including Web App Kiosk mode. Without supervision, kiosk restrictions cannot be applied.
