Guest Mode Question

If you put the Phone app into the guest mode screen, the guest has access to your contacts, recent phone calls, etc.

Is there a way to only put a phone dialer into guest mode?

Thanks.

You can remove the phone and contacts from the authorized applications. I removed both of them and they are not available in guest mode for me.

Sorry, I just re-read your question. I must have been half-asleep when I read it the first time.

I don't think the Phone app has functionality to limit what the guest mode access to within the application. The guest mode seems to be more basic in nature, kind of an all or nothing type thing. Guest mode either has access to an application or not. You can't limit what components the guest has access to within the application. At least not from what I've seen.

With the Guest mode, how do you keep a child from bypassing your parental control apps? Example; child goes into Guest mode, has access to Google Play, downloads apps and then uses them in Guest mode? Is there a way to remove access to Google Play or a browser in Guest mode?
