Most people will be reluctant to let someone else use their iPhone for fear that their friend or family member will snoop through their text messages, notes, and photos.

To set up Guided Access, go to Settings > Accessibility, then turn on Guided Access.
To start a Guided Access session, open the app you want, triple-click the side button, tap Guided Access, and then Start.
Enter the passcode, and then re-enter it. From here, you can also turn on Face ID or Touch ID to end a Guided Access session.
