Guest User - stock android feature is missing?

[mieczx]

So i just got my rog phone 3, and im rly happy with almost everything, but the lack of stock android feature known as GUEST USER, rly pisses me off, why is it even removed, i dont understand, this phone has 500gb storage, was it rly necessary to remove it?
Or maybe im just dumb and i cant figure out how to enable it?

As a person coming from cheap and old xiaomi phone, which supports "miui second space", this feels like a huge downgrade

While it's not entirely what you're looking for. Under settings > advanced > there is the option for Twin Apps which lets you have two of the same app under different accounts installed

Hope this helps for the mean time

As have already been stated by others, please refer to the TwinApps feature if you have multiple accounts you want to use.

Twin Apps doesn't work on all apps.

Twin Apps doesn't stop my kids from fouling up my contacts.

Twin Apps doesn't let you swap YouTube, discord, etc all at once.

Twin Apps is great, I love using it on supported applications. But its not the same thing as multi user support, and it confounds me that Asus managed to foul up stock android enough that they can't deal with multiple users anymore. Using standard Dev practices should have resulted in multiple user support baked in, and the fact that they are getting bugs due to it doesn't bode well in regards to security.

For a company marketing themselves as a gaming phone OS, multiple users is **critical**
