I’m missing multi-user feature of One UI 5

Samsung eventually introduced the “multi user” profiles feature for smartphones with the third One UI 5.0 Beta for the Galaxy S22 series. The addition of that feature didn’t last long as Samsung officially notified users that the multi-user feature won’t be available from the 4th One UI 5 Beta update.

The multi-user feature allows users to create different user profiles, helping you share your phone with someone else without worrying about privacy. Since Google debuted, Pixel phones have had the multi-user profiles feature, however, Samsung is still reserving it for unknown reasons.

During One UI 5 Beta, I also got a chance to use the multi-user feature on my Galaxy S22 Ultra, Snapdragon! In regular use, I didn’t notice any severe bugs or errors either in the primary profile or in the secondary/guest profile. Meanwhile, the Samsung Members notice about multi-user feature removal shocked me.

One UI 5.1

In early next year, the South Korean tech maker is likely to debut One UI 5.1, an upgraded version of One UI 5.0, based on the Android 13 operating system. Since Samsung removed the multi-user feature from One UI 5.0, there are still hopes that it will make a comeback with One UI 5.1.

One UI 5

Samsung One UI 5.0 Stable version comes with impressive animations and smoothness for the user interface. You can also enjoy the brand new features and customization options to redesign various aspects of the device such as lock screen, and home screen.

Android

The Android operating system officially supports multiple users on a single smartphone or tablet by separating user accounts and app data. For example, parents may allow their children to use the family tablet, a family can share an automobile, or a critical response team might share a mobile device for on-call duty.

On Pixels, there are four kinds of categories for the multi-user feature including System user, Secondary user, Guest user and Admin user. Among them, the system user cannot be removed except by factory reset and is always running even when other users are in the foreground.
