Kiosk Mode can Lockdown Android Devices & Prevent Unauthorized Access

Kiosks are standalone devices running one task (single-use) or sometimes multiple tasks. The operating system user interface must be hidden and the user shouldn’t be able to access it. Devices operating in kiosk mode are a special type of corporate devices. Using the device as a kiosk is probably the most popular in the corporate device market.

  • Lock Android to Multi App Mode: Restrict the Android kiosk device to run only specific applications allowed by the IT admin.
  • Lock Android to One App Mode: Configure Android kiosks to run a single application deployed for diverse use-cases.
  • Lockdown Android Browser: Configure browser settings on Android kiosk, providing access to whitelisted websites only.

Managed kiosk

Junmdm includes the Android device facility to operate as an automatically updated mobile kiosk.

The QR code enrolling (Android 7.0 Nougat and higher versions) allows the mobile device management application to turn on the “Device lock” (Corporate-Owner Single Usage or COSU) mode. After the device is locked, the user can only see the “Back” button; Home and Recents are blocked and invisible. The status bar appears as a black line. The full-screen, or immersive, mode completely hides the navigation and status bars, making the device look like a kiosk.

Devices prior to Android 7.0 Nougat may run the single-task mode by blocking the status bar expansion and system buttons.
