The touchpad of Apple X (usually referring to the horizontal bar below the screen, also known as the Home indicator) can be hidden by following these steps:
1. Open Settings: Find and open the "Settings" app on iPhone X.
2. Enter accessibility: In the settings menu, scroll down and select the "General" option, then find and click on "Accessibility" in the General Settings.
3. Enable Guided Access: In the accessibility interface, find the "Guided Access" option and click to enter. Here, you need to ensure that the 'Guided Access' feature is enabled. If it hasn't been turned on yet, click the switch next to it to activate it.
4. Set guided access password (optional): To enhance security, you may need to set a password or enable Face ID/Touch ID to exit guided access mode. In the "Guided Access" settings, you can find the password setting option and configure it accordingly.
5. Enable Guided Access: Now, when you want to hide the touchpad, simply open the app you want to use. Then, quickly press the side button (power button) three times in a row, and a guided access prompt box will appear on the screen. In the prompt box, you can adjust some settings (such as screen area restrictions, etc.), and then click the "Start" button. At this point, the touchpad will be hidden.
6. Exit Guided Access: When you want to restore the touchpad, simply press the side button three times again, then enter the password or use Face ID/Touch ID to exit Guided Access mode. matters needing attention
Guided access mode not only hides the touch bar, but also prevents users from performing unnecessary operations in specific applications, such as accidentally pressing the exit button. This is very useful when you need to focus on using a particular application or conducting a presentation.
Please ensure that you can easily exit guided access mode when needed to avoid inconvenience.
After hiding the touchpad, you may need to adapt to the operating mode without it, as some operations that were originally performed through the touchpad may need to be completed through other methods.
By following the above steps, you can successfully hide the touchpad on the Apple X.
