Secure iOS Kiosk Browser to Lock Down Your iPads & iPhones
What is an iPadOS or iOS Kiosk Browser?
An iOS Kiosk Browser is an enterprise lockdown browser that provides secure, controlled access to only specific approved websites and web apps on iPhones and iPads. By installing a kiosk browser for iPad and iPhone devices, you can turn your Apple devices into dedicated web kiosks for business, education, or public use.
To deploy an iOS kiosk browser, admins create an "Allowlist" of approved URLs. This allows you to restrict an iPad to a single website (like a sign-in page, POS system, or survey) or provide access to a few pre-selected sites.
Anything not on the list is inaccessible, completely preventing users from browsing risky sites or downloading malware.
You can turn Apple devices into secure web kiosks with SureFox by 42Gears, the industry-leading kiosk browser iPad and iPhone devices worldwide employed for safe browsing. SureFox combines an accessible price point with powerful, easy-to-use features, making it the perfect fit for any organization.
Why Apple's Guided Access Isn't Enough for Business
While iOS and iPadOS include the "Guided Access" feature, it is not a feasible or scalable solution for business use. It must be manually activated and deactivated on every single device, which is impossible when admins need to lock down tens or hundreds of devices.
SureFox provides a centrally managed, remote, and fully-featured enterprise alternative to Guided Access, giving you complete control over your devices from anywhere.
The Business-Changing Benefits of an iPad Kiosk Browser
Boost User Productivity with a Focused Browsing Experience
iPhone and iPad users can only access “allow-listed” websites and web apps. This means social media, games, and other distracting sites are now off-limits. Without these distractions, employees and users can improve productivity and get more done.
Prevent Costly Security & Malware Threat
Even though Apple devices are secure, they aren't invincible. A user downloading something malicious or visiting a compromised website can pose a huge threat. With SureFox, you restrict users to your trusted sites, minimizing the chance of security incidents.
Protect Device Settings & Reduce IT Costs
Whether due to malice or simple error, users often change device settings in ways that break functionality. This leads to device downtime and costly troubleshooting. SureFox blocks access to all settings menus, making it impossible for users to tamper with configurations.
Convert Off-the-Shelf iPads into Professional Kiosks
You can provide employees and customers with an upscale, secure kiosk using standard iPads or iPhones. Instead of expensive custom hardware, SureFox turns any device into a valuable web kiosk. Plus, set-up is easy: configure one device and remotely export those settings to your entire fleet.
Improve Customer Trust & User Experience (UX)
Users may distrust public kiosks due to past experiences with broken or vandalized devices. By gaining full control over the browser and offering a reliable, branded interface, you build user trust and ensure their positive experience reflects on your brand.
