Screen pinning on Intex Aqua Xtreme II
How to pin the screen on an Intex Aqua Xtreme II?
There are times when you need someone else to use your Intex Aqua Xtreme II either to see a photo, a video, use an application or visit a web page, but you do not want them to be able to access the rest of the applications and data on your device either by privacy, security or to avoid mistakes.
For example, there are times when you need to give the Intex Aqua Xtreme II to a friend, family member or even a small child and you do not want them to leave that app that you have opened. This is very useful, for example, so that young children can watch videos on YouTube without leaving the application and you can even prevent them from doing anything other than watching, that is, blocking the touch panel until you want.
