Answered by Jarrod Smith

You can have multiple users on a Samsung phone. This feature allows different individuals to have their own personalized settings, apps, and data on the same device. Each user can have their own separate profile, ensuring privacy and customization options for each user.

To set up multiple users on a Samsung phone, follow these steps:

1. Unlock your Samsung phone using your current user profile.

2. Scroll down the notification panel and tap on the gear-shaped Settings icon to access the device settings.

3. In the settings menu, scroll down and find the “Users” option under the “Device” tab. Tap on it to enter the Users menu.

4. In the Users menu, you will see a list of existing user profiles, including the primary user profile that you are currently using.

5. To add a new user or profile, tap on the “Add user or profile” button. This button may vary slightly depending on the Samsung phone model and Android version.

6. From the options provided, tap on “User” to add a new user profile.

7. A pop-up window will appear, explaining that the new user needs to go through a setup process. Tap on “OK” to proceed.

8. Next, you will be prompted to set up the new user profile. Tap on “SET UP NOW” to begin the setup process.

9. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup for the new user profile. This includes signing in with a Google account, setting a lock screen pattern or PIN, and customizing the user profile.

10. Once the setup process is complete, the new user profile will be added to the Users menu.

Now, when you want to switch to a different user profile on your Samsung phone, you can do so by following these steps:

1. Lock your device (if it’s not already locked) by pressing the power button or using the lock screen shortcut.

2. On the lock screen, you will see the user profiles listed at the bottom of the screen. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access the user profiles.

3. Tap on the user profile that you want to switch to.

4. If the selected user profile has a lock screen pattern or PIN, you will be prompted to enter it to unlock the device.

5. Once unlocked, you will be logged into the selected user profile, and you can now use the device with the personalized settings and apps associated with that profile.

Having multiple user profiles on a Samsung phone can be beneficial in various scenarios. For example, if you share your phone with family members, each person can have their own profile with their preferred apps and settings. This helps maintain privacy and avoids conflicts in customization preferences.

Samsung phones support multiple user profiles, allowing different individuals to have their own personalized settings and apps on the same device. Each user profile can be set up with unique preferences, ensuring a personalized experience for each user.
