How To Manually Add And Enable Guest Mode On Infinix Lollipop And Other Lollipop by Reediano(m): 4:36pm On Dec 22, 2015
The guest mode was actually one of the highlighted security feature of lollipop when it was initially announced. I have personally been waiting for something of this nature for quite some time. When infinix released their lollipop update, I was surprised that this feature was dropped.

With the guest mode, you can give your phone to anybody and be rest assured that your files and app data are completely safe and un accessible by just creating a separate account.

With the guest mode, you can give anyone access to your mobile phone while completely locking them out of your personal data. This means once you open a guest account, you will get a completely new interface with just installed apps and you can go ahead and login your Google accounts and also make use of any of the available apps without interfering with anything of your files or data.

In this tutorial I will show you how to manually add the guest mode to your lollipop device, most especially infinix and also how to enable it on all Android device.

Requirements:
Rooted Android device.
File manager (in this tutorial I will be using both es explorer and root explorer).

Tutorial 1 ~ With Root explorer:
=> Click on the "+" sign at the bottom of the screen and select root tab.

=> After that, click on the menu again and select device.

=> You should see 3 icons, just click on add guest.

Great job...i've done dis long ago ....so i'll only tell u the dangers of doing it......if u do this , anytime u reboot your phone, your phone storage folder in your fone file manager will disappear and u can't watch videos or view pictures saved in ur phone storage except with third party apps like es file explorer....and to solve the problem u will have to remove guest mode and remount sdcard and storage, system etc via custom recouvery and reeboot to see ur phone storage folder......so for phones that didn't come with it leave it at that or go ahead if u know dat there's nothing that will make u reboot your fone
