Overview
With Knox Manage, you can add the Samsung Camera app to a multi-app kiosk device.
After you enable the Samsung Camera app, the device user will be able to take photos, but won’t be able to view them after the fact because the Samsung Gallery app is also unavailable by default. Therefore, if photo viewing is a requirement, you should consider also adding the Samsung Gallery app to the kiosk.
