- It’s suggested to also activate the “Ask for unlock pattern before unpinning” to make sure customers can't access the rest of the device if they happen to unpin Singa Check-in
When this is done, please open the Singa Check-in app and follow the below instructions.
- Open the Recent Apps view by pressing the square button in the navigation bar
- Tap and hold the Singa icon in the top middle of the screen
