New Feature: Android Kiosk Mode Preview
We are thrilled to introduce our new launcher preview feature (kiosk mode)! This is a powerful addition to our mobile device management (MDM) software. It provides an intuitive way to configure and visualize how the launcher (home screen) will be distributed on Android devices with Kiosk Mode — all on a single screen and with just one click.
What is the Launcher and Kiosk Mode?
The launcher is essentially the home screen of a mobile device. It's where users begin using the device and is, in itself, an application that defines which features and other applications users can access.
There is always a default launcher application on the device, which can be from the operating system (e.g., Android) or the device manufacturer (e.g., Samsung).
But when using specific MDM software, you can configure your own launcher! This is executed using kiosk mode. There are various functions you can execute with the launcher, for example:
- App visibility: You can configure which applications will be present in the launcher.
- Wallpaper: You can set a specific background.
- Font color: You can choose a color that matches the background.
- Installation filters: You can filter which applications will be visible in the launcher based on how they were installed.
What is the Kiosk Mode Preview Feature?
The launcher preview feature allows IT administrators to preview and customize the launcher interface on managed Android devices. Administrators define which applications will appear, adjust font colors, and change wallpapers — all from a single screen, making the process seamless and efficient.
