Android tip: Here’s how you can set up guest mode in your smartphone running on stock Android

Google’s Android mobile operating system seems simple on the surface, but dig deeper and you find many ways to hack it for convenience and customization. One of the cool aspects of this OS is the Guest mode.

We are sure, you already understood it’s working, but we are telling you that in the stock Android it is termed as Multiple Users.

If you want to give someone else a little more access than screen-pinning allows, you can. To let someone borrow your phone, but not access your apps, data, or settings, or send text messages. these steps will definitely help you out.

 Steps to set up guest access:

• Head to Settings
• Click on System
• Select Advanced
• Choose Multiple Users and enable it

You can optionally enable the slider for Add Users from Lock Screen. You can now swipe down twice from the top of your phone to get to Quick Settings. Tap on your user icon in the lower right and choose Add Guest.

The phone takes a little while to switch to the mode, which removes any personal accounts (such as email) but allows things like phone calls, maps, and web browsing. Only default Android apps appear, so you don’t have to worry about your guest sending a Facebook post or tweet for your account.
