It’s not that simple. As they explained , it’s a cultural thing. Ideally, 
saying no would be the best option, but due to the cultural complications, 
things like dimming the screen, leaving VO on or perhaps enabling guided access 
or turning on one of those  restrictive settings to make the user experience as 
unpleasant as possible and playing dumb when they ask you for help on using the 
phone would be a decent solution. I would even have to imagine that there are 
certain apps that can create  this type of environment. Similar to those secret 
photo and file sharing apps where you have to punch in a secret code to fully 
unlock the device.

I wouldn't let anybody play with my phone,  unless I really knew them well.  
They could just steal it.  Even then I think the screen curtain idea is a 
pretty good one. If you're worried about them using the phone to make a call or 
something, you could put the phone in airplane mode. That way no calls or data 
could go out. Hope this helps

Hi, list.

I have IPhone6Plus with IOS9.02.

In Indian Culture it is ok to ask you to show me your phone if you are my 
acquaintance.

Lots of sighted relatives of mine want me to give my Iphone to them so they can 
see it and I don’t feel comfortable doing that and I can not say plain ‘no’ to 
them.

What should I do so they can not use my phone easily?

Should I mute Voice Over, bring brightness to 0 and put the screen curtain on 
in order to make it difficult for them to use the phone, or there is something 
else besides the things mentioned above that I should do?

Thanks!
