Set Up Users

You can create a separate account for someone else to use your phone. In order to protect your privacy and data security, the other user will only be allowed to access certain functions of your phone.

If you have enabled Digital balance and specified My child as the user, the multi-user feature will be unavailable.

The following user account types are available on your phone:

  • Owner

    Your account is the owner by default.

    An owner is allowed to perform any operation on the phone, including adding or deleting other accounts, and authorizing other accounts to use the calling and SMS functions.

  • User

    You can create a user account for someone who frequently uses your phone.

    A user account can use most of the functions on your phone. However, they can't use functions that will interfere with the owner, such as restoring your phone to its factory settings, using Phone Clone, changing user rights, or creating a PrivateSpace.

  • Guest

    You can create a guest account for someone who only needs to use your phone temporarily.

    A guest account can only use limited, basic functions on your phone. For example, a guest is not allowed to send SMS messages, install unknown apps, switch to a different Wi-Fi network, or set mobile data monitoring.

  1. Go to Settings > Users & accounts > Users, touch Add user or Add guest, then follow the onscreen instructions to add an account.

  2. Touch Switch to switch to the user or guest account. Configure the settings for the new account as prompted.
