Restricts the device to a single, full-screen app. The user cannot exit the app or switch to another one.
This is commonly used in retail environments or information displays, where only one application (like a point-of-sale system or a web browser) needs to be accessible.

Allows the use of multiple pre-defined apps. The user can switch between these apps but cannot access any other part of the system.
Lastly, this is useful for shared devices in libraries, schools, or work environments where users need access to a specific set of applications.
