Screen pinning on JiaYu S2 32 GB
How to pin the screen on an JiaYu S2 32 GB?
There are times when you need someone else to use your JiaYu S2 32 GB 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 JiaYu S2 32 GB 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.
