New feature: app pinning
what it does: when enabled, the self-checkout app stays locked on the screen, preventing users from switching to other apps.
how to enable app pinning:
- update to the latest self-checkout app (version: 2.2.19).
- go to settings within the app.
- scroll down and find the app pinning option.
- tap to enable it. The app is now locked in place.
how to unpin the app:
- option 1: go to settings and tap unpin.
- option 2: press and hold the "back" and "recent apps" buttons simultaneously for a few seconds.
note:
- back button = arrow icon.
- recent apps button = square or three lines (varies by device).
why this matters
- ensures a dedicated self-checkout experience.
- prevents unauthorized access to other apps.
- boosts security and usability for kiosks and self-service setups.
