Why Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is missing the Multiple User feature of Stock Android. It was one of the very useful features Android, which allowed me to carry a single phone instead of 2 phones with my work profile and personal profile separated.
I know I could use Secure folder feature to get almost the same outcome but it's a compromise especially when stock Android is having this feature.

It's so weird that this feature got removed. It's available for the S22 / OneUI 5.0 and is removed on the S23 Ultra / OneUI 5.1? Why?

 

 

 

The S23 Ultra is a very expensive phone which will typically be owned by people who Have a job to carry around. So why is the highest end phone missing a feature that even budget non-Samsung phones have...?

 

Will we get this feature back or do we have to Flash a custom ROM Because OneUI is, apparently, still lacking core features?

This is exactly why I won't get another Samsung phone. I love Samsung, my tablet is Samsung as is our washer and dryer. But until they add multiple user to the phone, I'll have to stay with my Google Pixel (which does have multiple user options btw).

I wish samsung would add the multi-profile option as they have with their tablets. I was planning on upgrading my s7 tablet to the s9 tablet, but I'm switching back to the iOS ecosystem

This is a very important feature and has many applications and scenarios.  I was telling a friend the other day that Android is much better than IOS because it has this feature to have multiple users. I have just got my s23 ultra and it is a great phone but I am very frustrated by this decision.  Please consider reenabling it.

My old redmi note 5 pro had second space option which made me feel like I had another phone when I entered second space, with everything separate including storage,apps,policies,settings,contacts,data,passwords,etc,etc,etc.

I got s23 ultra but it has nothing like that, when I create a work profile and try to install an app from unknown source which I needed for some testing purpose, it is complaining to check with admin. I am not able to install that app keeping my personal data away from that app.

Atleast multiple user would be good if you cannot match redmi's second space.

We really need multi user feature back. Samsung needs to listen to it's client base and respond. This feature is quite useful for customers with personal and business needs. S23 Ultra is your flagship device and is capable of handling multiple users.

 

Pls bring it back.

Anyone knows if this feature is available with Android 14/One UI 6? Was planning to buy the S23 just to find out this key Android feature does not seem to be available.

I just purchased a S24 and was planning on using both for secondary phone for me and have another user account for my 10 year old when he is away from us and we need to be in contact. I am dumbfounded to discover this "great" phone doesn't have such basic functionality like multiple users. I genuinely feel like I have wasted my money as I just never even imagined that a Samsung phone wouldn't have the ability to have multiple users.   This was the first time in 7 years I got a Samsung, thinking it was time to come back...guess I was wrong.
