Android Lollipop and Marshmallow Smart Phone and Devices makes it possible to share your Android devices with other users (such as wife, girlfriend, siblings) temporally with some restrictions (guest user mode) or for an extended period without restrictions (multiple users mode).

This feature has been in use for Android tablet users with Jelly Bean 4.3. Most Android phones and devices with Android Lollipop support guest user mode and multiple users, example:, Nexus devices (Nexus 4, 5 and Nexus 6), Motorola Moto devices (Moto X, Moto X 2nd Gen, Moto G, Mot G 2nd Gen, Moto E, and Moto E 2nd Gen), LG G3, LG G Flex 2, Sony Xperia Z3 , Infinix Hot 2, Tecno L8 and so many others.



Is there any difference between “the owner” and “Guest” in this Android Lollipop guest user mode and multiple users?

YES, there is.

your guest cannot access file restricted by you.

I know many Android users will be thrown into confusion on this user and account of a thing.

But we know that in Android devices, you are permitted to have more than one google account (as well as other accounts, e.g., email accounts, Facebook account…..). and these accounts belong to a user.

Before this multiple users were introduced, you have only one user on your device and that is you. So, there is no confusion: all accounts are “yours”.

Now, in your phones with Android Lollipop update, you can have more than one user. You can switch among these users.

Friend’s Account

Maybe your friend usually likes to go through your phone and access some of your apps, and you may be trying to restrict him/her from certain files or apps but do not know how to do it, possibly because the person is your bestie.

It’s almost same as in when creating a Family account, but the restriction may not or may be same.
