It starts with a short warning on what to expect from this profile. If you choose to set it up now, you’ll immediately be “logged out” of the profile you’re currently using and tossed into the setup menu. Tablets also offer an exclusive “Restricted Profile” for shared devices with kids.Īt this point, you can choose to set the new user up now or wait till later. You can do this on Android phones with Lollipop (Android 5.0) and above, as well as tablets with KitKat (Android 4.4.). If you have a shared device and are into the idea, setting up a new user profile is easy peasy. Just something to keep in mind if you plan to set up your entire family on a single tablet. So, as you can imagine, the more apps installed on each profile, the worse performance will be. In order to make switching between them quick, they effectively run at the same time-the others just keep ticking along in the background. In short, the more users on the phone, the crappier the performance. There is a downside, however: performance. Again, like having two devices in one. When you add a new profile, it literally goes through the entire setup process like a brand new device. This is more than just adding a second Google account alongside your primary-this is literally an entirely different profile, with its own apps, settings, wallpaper, and the like. Not a lot of people realize this, but Android has a very similar feature built in called User Profiles. It’s like having multiple machines wrapped into one. If you have (or have ever used) a shared Windows PC, then you may already be familiar with the concept here: everyone has their own login, complete with their own apps and settings.
