1What is Immersive Kiosk Mode?#
Immersive Kiosk Mode hides the Android navigation bar (back, home, recents) and the status bar permanently. The app takes over the entire screen.
Perfect for:
- Kiosk / POS terminals
- Gaming apps
- Digital signage displays
- Exhibition / demo tablets
- Restaurant ordering tablets
2Enable in Generator#
In Step 2 (Display Settings):
- Scroll to 'Display Options'
- Toggle ON 'Immersive Kiosk Mode'
- Generate your APK
No code changes needed on your website - this is purely an Android-level feature.
3How Users Exit#
Users can still access navigation by swiping from the screen edge. The bars will appear briefly (translucent) and then auto-hide again.
⚠️ Important: If you combine this with 'Exit Confirmation', the user must swipe to reveal the back button. Consider your use case carefully.
💡 Tip: For true kiosk lockdown, also disable Pull-to-Refresh and set Link Mode to 'Internal'.
4Best Practices#
✅ Test thoroughly before deploying on kiosk devices
✅ Combine with Portrait or Landscape lock for single-orientation kiosks
✅ Disable Zoom for touch-screen kiosks
⚠️ Not recommended for general consumer apps - users may get confused
⚠️ Google Play policy: Kiosk apps should clearly state their purpose
