Introduction
Autonomous Single App Mode (ASAM) lets Snappic automatically enter and exit Single App Mode when starting or ending an event. This makes managing your devices easier and ensures your iPads stay locked into Snappic during events — without needing to manually enable Guided Access or configure restrictions.

How Autonomous Single App Mode Works
When enabled, Snappic will:
Lock the device into Single App Mode when you start an event.
Exit Single App Mode automatically when you end the event using your admin passcode on the iPad or iPhone.
This ensures your booth remains secure during events, but can be unlocked instantly when needed — making it easy to adjust Wi-Fi, access other apps, or perform updates between events.
Requirements
Snappic app version: 1.22 or higher
Device: iPad or iPhone
Device supervision: Required
MDM solution: Required for setup (typically around $2–$3 per device/month)
Bundle Identifier:
com.mushroomcloud.Snappic(Contact Snappic if you’re using a grey-label app for the correct identifier.)
Setting Up ASAM
Ensure your MDM supports Autonomous Single App Mode (ASAM).
Add Snappic’s bundle identifier to your MDM’s approved app list.
Configure your MDM to allow Snappic to automatically manage Single App Mode.
Launch your event in Snappic — the device will automatically enter ASAM.
