If you live in a home where people always want to use your phone, or if you just want to keep the contents of your phone secret from your friends or close connections, there is a tip that may come in useful.
Why Would You Need A Guest Mode?
Google’s profile system for Android phones is especially beneficial if you’re letting someone use your phone for a short period. “A guest profile is for someone using your device for a short time,” the search engine says. “Like a user, the guest profile has its own space on the device, but it’s easier to delete this space when a guest is done with the device.”
A guest profile hides your files and private data from other users, but it still connects to the same Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth devices as the primary profile. If you intend to let someone else use your Android phone for a while, enable the guest profile. All of your files, messages, texts, emails, photos, and music would be safe from other users.
Users can also add and delete visitors at any moment. However, setting up a guest profile may change on each manufacturer’s Android phone, so you may need to adjust the instructions somewhat.
How To Enable Guest Mode On Android
- Launch the Settings app on your Android smartphone.
- Scroll down and tap Users & Accounts, or a similar option.
- If you wish to skip a few steps, try putting “multiple users” or “guest mode” in the top search box.
- Once you’ve found the “multiple users” option, turn it on. If you enable this feature, each user will have their profile on your phone.
- When the option is enabled, users will have the ability to “add user.”
- When you tap on the newly created profile, you may quickly swap.
- Adjust the parameters before switching.
Switching back is similarly straightforward; simply complete the procedures outlined above and select the administrator profile. You may enable the visitor to make calls and send messages by selecting the enable calls and SMS option in the guest settings before switching.
