iPads seem like a waste of money here. If truly only accessing the web on a tablet, android would make alot more sense financially.

Wow - Android 5, that's ancient, also the oldest version supporting this pinning option.

That would be weird since they just refreshed it late last year. I did have to purchase the ones I got in August from CDW.

Screen pinning may have been killed...
But my phone does have app lock where I can lock out all apps (minus chrome or whatever) with a pin.

If they killed it, it's because they didn't put it in anyone's face to become aware of it. parents would love that - pin this game to the screen, keep the kidos from messing with the rest of the phone.

Yeah you do it via app lock now.

It would have been nice to have both screen pin and app lock. One shouldnt have replaced the other IMO

App lock does not allow you to open other apps
Screen Pinning does not allow you to change screensThey both should work IMO

Also it looks like Android 9 does support screen printing. It isnt available on MUI which is Xiaomi's OS.

aww, Are you sure screen pinning was removed from Android? that seemed to be an OS thing - this App locking is a third party app, doesn't even seem to be from Samsung from what I read in the article.

Apple Configurator would be what I would use, if you wanted to avoid all of that you could use single app mode as well. Not sure if it allows you to block access to specific websites though.
Only works on Mac - I have no Mac to use for this.

I dont think it was. It appears just to be missing from my device. Reading Google's support docs it looks like its still there.

Yeah that is really one of the crappy things about Apples tools. You could setup a crapintosh with generic hardware.
