Hi 👋, Samsung used to have Guest Mode / Private Mode on some older Galaxy devices, but it has since been removed in newer One UI versions. This was mainly done because of changes in Android security policies and to streamline features across devices.
I understand how useful Guest Mode was 😔, especially for privacy and sharing phones with others. At the moment, there isn’t a direct replacement, but you can try alternatives like:
Secure Folder (for keeping apps, files, and accounts private)
Separate user profiles (on some Galaxy tablets, but not on phones)
Your feedback is very valid. I’ll make sure to pass this along to the Samsung team, hopefully, they consider bringing a similar option back in future updates.
Hi 👋, Thanks for clarifying. That’s interesting, normally, Android tablets (including Galaxy Tab series) do support multiple user profiles, but Samsung has restricted this option on some One UI versions. On the Tab S9 Ultra with recent One UI builds, Samsung seems to have disabled the “Users” menu under Settings > Accounts and Backup > Users.
Unfortunately, this means there’s currently no built-in Guest Mode or multiple profile option on your device. The only real workaround right now is using Secure Folder to keep personal apps, photos, and files separate.
Your concern is very valid, and many users would definitely appreciate Samsung enabling multi-user support on tablets again. I’ll make sure to pass this feedback to the Samsung team. Hopefully, they reconsider adding it in future updates.
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us. Rest assured, your feedback will be shared with the relevant team for consideration in the future updates.
