If I have a suite of Android tablets, is it possible that I can have Chrome be the only app that is used on the tablet whilst also locking Chrome to access 1 URL?

We're building a web app for school kids and we want to lock down its use for everything else.

I understand there's a kiosk mode that will lock down to a single app, just can't see anything about disabling the ability to navigate to another website.

I guess you're better going with building an webview app.

That way, you can use android's native kiosk mode to lock the device into that app, that's actually just a webview to your web app.

Edit: Also, I found out something that could be interesting for your case: Android's Lock Task Mode

From documentation:

Android can run tasks in an immersive, kiosk-like fashion called lock task mode. You might use lock task mode if you’re developing a kiosk application or a launcher to present a collection of apps. When the system runs in lock task mode, device users typically can’t see notifications, access non-allowlisted apps, or return to the home screen (unless the home screen is allowlisted).

Adding another answer because I actually found what you're looking for.

You can setup an application to change the device's policies to lock-on on the Chrome app and then lock Chrome to a single website.

Here is the full reference of the answer you're looking for.
