Hi,

We have configured some of our iOS and iPadOS devices to use web app kiosks with Hexnode Browser Lite. I need assistance with exiting the web kiosk policy that has been set up using Hexnode Browser Lite. Any methods you can provide for disabling the web kiosk would be greatly appreciated.

To manually exit the web app kiosk mode, click the vertical ellipsis button in the top right corner of the screen. Then, select the “Exit Kiosk” option and enter either the global or local exit passcode to exit the kiosk mode. To configure the kiosk exit passcode follow the below steps,

  1. Log in to your Hexnode UEM portal.
  2. Navigate to Policies > New Policy. Go to Kiosk Lockdown > iOS Kiosk Lockdown > Advanced Website Kiosk Settings.
  3. Click on Configure.
  4. Under Kiosk Exit Settings, check the option Manually exit kiosk mode.
  5. The Kiosk exit passcode field will be pre-filled with the Global Exit Passcode. You can either use this Global Exit Passcode or change it to a new passcode as needed.
  6. Proceed to Policy Targets and select Devices, Device Groups, Users, User Groups, or Domains.
  7. Click on Save.

I hope this information helps you.

Thanks for the information. Do we have any way that we can exit or disable web app kiosk from the device itself?
