Multi User or Guest Mode???

[homieguy6]

I want to know if this phone has multi user or guest mode features?
If not which phone do?
Thanks..

It should, multi-user and guest mode are built in to Android.

 

[homieguy6]

one would think but samsung s7 does not have it or lg g5, I know Blackberry android phone does have it

I know a few users already have the htc 10 and if anyone can share if it has multi user or guest mode features that would be great??

I've never paid attention to whether my HTC One A9 has multi user but I will check out and let you know. I don't think the 10 is changing much, software wise, from the A9.

No multi-user or guest mode on the One A9.

For what it's worth, HTC has the 10's manual running online. I've been searching for this and found info about user accounts, but nothing about a multi-user mode so far (which I've never used so I'm not sure if I'm using the right search terms).

I don't see multiuser.

 

[homieguy6]

yeah I would imagine it would not but thanks for all the help bud

 

[homieguy6]

Oh ok great for all the info.. I was really looking for a phone that had those features.
Thanks Jess and Phil and Bowie.

One thing I just remembered, if your interest in multi-user is to limit a guest's access to certain areas of the phone, I saw a review stating that the 10 has built-in app locks. So, you can lock up your photos, dialer, etc rather easily.

 

[homieguy6]

Yeah that sounds like a nice work around thanks Bowie

Granted you have root access on your device try this simple elegant solution that has worked on many devices I tried this method on.

Using "Root Browser" or similar app.
Just go to /system , edit your "build.prop" file and add the following lines:

fw.max_users=3
fw.show_multiuserui=1

Save. Reboot. Ifor all went well you should have your profile or guest profile (kind of like on windows) with separate apps and app days. Hope that helps.
