I’m setting up an iOS device in multi-app kiosk mode and need users to be able to connect freely to Bluetooth accessories. I can add the Settings app, but I don’t want users changing critical device settings. Is there a way in Hexnode to expose only the Bluetooth section inside Settings? Also, can Hexnode customize or set the device passcode while the iOS device is locked down?

In iOS multi-app kiosk mode, iOS does not provide an MDM-supported way to expose only the Bluetooth page while hiding the rest of the Settings app.
The recommended approach is:
- Include the Settings app in the multi-app kiosk policy so users can access Bluetooth.
- Configure iOS Restrictions in the same policy to lock down sensitive settings.
You can use Basic Restrictions and Advanced Restrictions to prevent changes such as:
- Modifying accounts
- Erasing all content and settings
- Modifying the passcode
- Changing cellular data settings
- Changing the device name
- Modifying diagnostics-related settings
This allows users to open Settings for Bluetooth pairing while keeping critical system configuration options restricted.
