Multi Users/Guest mode on Samsung Devices

[Vikramaditya015]

Multi user feature is available from Android 5.0 but it was never released in Samsung Devices. Samsung released Secure Folder as an Alternative of Multi user but still some prefer Separate System used in Multi user rather than Folder like UI . This trick helps you to Create Guest User in Samsung devices.

Requirements

-> adb files in PC (https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/) or ladb ( available in play store)

Get Started

-> Setup ADB
-> Use this commands in ADB
---------------------------------------------
1 • adb devices

 • adb shell pm list users ( Now note down every user ID if you want )

 • adb shell pm create-user --guest Name

Example:- adb shell pm create-user --guest VIGNESHA31
------------------------------------------
2 •Wait for few seconds & Use this command
 • adb shell pm list users
------------------------------------------
3 •You will see a new user has been added

 •Note down the new user ID

 •Now you have to Switch to user Guest

 •Use this command
adb shell am switch-user 11 ( in my case the user ID is 11 )
🥳

------------------------------------------
Limitations / Issues
-> You can't create Secondary Profile Because available user in System is limited to 1 . So you can only able to use Guest profile

-> Guest user is meant has temporary so , when you switch to Guest a pop up will come to choose :-
Continue & Delete all data
So Don't choose anything. Just wait for 2 seconds & it will Disappear automatically.

-> Sometimes there will be no enough storage in Guest like :-
If you have 128 gb of storage
It will show has minus 128 of storage
 
-> Apk except Playstore installation MobileData, Messages, Phone is not allowed In Guest .
•Apk can be installed using adb in Guest
• MobileData can be enabled by third party apps or by below method .

-> No option to switch user to default . You have to restart it , So that you can switch to default User .

From Samsung, Secure Folder is implemented for security and also adb(android debug bridge) won't works on Secure Folder

Bro...you really know so much,you are a real developer

No no I'm not . These features were found by guessing.

[GalaxyTechie]

They added in One UI 5 Beta 1 and later in One UI 5 Beta 4 they removed it. It's funny to say that they couldn't implement this simple feature most of the companies already adpoted in these years!

[Vikramaditya015]
