What is Android kiosk mode?

Android kiosk mode turns a company-owned device into a dedicated endpoint for one app, an approved app set, a website, or a branded launcher. Nomid MDM centralizes the restrictions, app deployment, configuration changes, and remote support needed to operate those devices at scale.
