Know How To Enable Guest Mode on Android Phones

Privacy plays a prominent role in our lives and when it comes to smartphones, we don't want others accessing our private content, but sometimes we stand in situations where we need to hand over our android phone to someone else, if you are in the same situation, then there is great chance that you are worried about your privacy. luckily google got the same thought and found a better solution for this, "The Guest Mode" this feature is included in every smart phone that ships with android 5.0 lollipop. the guest mode simply switches to a guest profile which doesn't contain any of your data, installed apps, messages, contacts, etc. in simple, it completely looks like a fresh os with factory default settings, once you switch back to your main google account your data will be available, and data saved in guest mode will be deleted automatically. I must say its a life saver API program from google. if in case you are not using android 5.0 lollipop, then some you must check for pre-loaded guest mode, brands like Xiaomi, LG, Samsung, pre-load tweaked version of guest mode to their devices, if in case you are using an android phone which is manufactured by either of these brands then the best possible way to protect your content is to use third party apps and lock down your content. if you are using a lollipop then you must know how to enable/disable this feature, so let's get into details,


How To Enable Guest Mode on Android:
  1. Swipe down the notification bar, 
  2. there you can see your image avatar--Tap that
  3. On tapping the avatar, you will see three options there
  4. "ADD USER, ADD GUEST"
  5. now if you want you can add your another account to device by choosing Add user
  6. click on Add guest to enable guest mode

Disabling the guest mode is as simple as enabling, all you have to do is, just swipe down the notification bar again and tap on avatar and choose your gmail account directly, once you have disabled the guest mode, all the data that is saved in guest mode will be deleted automatically. see how simple the process of protecting your data is. but if you are not using any lollipop device, as i mentioned choose any third-party app lock applications you want to protect.
