iPadOS 17 or higher is required for this installation process to work.

After you’ve followed the first 2 steps for the kiosk setup here, you can complete the installation on an iPad by following the steps described here.

1. Adding the kiosk as a full screen browser

Add the kiosk to your home screen

You can add a shortcut for your home screen to our kiosk, making it easier to start up. We recommend setting it up in Chrome:

  1. On your iPad, open Chrome .
  2. Go to https://kiosk.care
  3. At the top right of the address bar, tap Share .
  4. Find and tap Add to Home Screen.
  5. Confirm or edit the website details and tap Add.
  6. Your iPad will now have an icon on the home screen to open the kiosk in full screen.

Install the Kiosk

To install the kiosk, simply click the icon on your home screen and you will find the following install screen:

Scan QR code

The browser will ask you to use the camera. Allow this with each visit, in order to scan QR codes. 

Scan the QR code generated in the first step (At the kiosk settings).  

Manual install 

Copy the kiosk ID (the ID starting with ksk_ in you kiosk settings screen) and copy it into the Kiosk install screen. Then hit install and the kiosk will be connected to your backoffice.

2. Setting up Guided Access

Now that the kiosk has been set up, you can make the iPad ready to be used by your guests.

Set up Guided Access

  1. Go to Settings  > Accessibility > Guided Access, then turn on Guided Access.

  2. Adjust the following:

    • Passcode Settings: Tap Set Guided Access Passcode, then enter a passcode. 

    • Display Auto-Lock: Set how long it takes iPad to automatically lock during a Guided Access session. If you don’t want the screen to turn off, set it “Never”.

Start a Guided Access session

  1. Click the kiosk icon on your home screen to open kiosk.

  2. To turn on Guided Access, triple-click the Home button or top button (depending on your iPad model).

  3. Tap Options, then turn on or off any of the following:

    • Top (Sleep/Wake) Button, should be OFF.
