I have an S24 Ultra, and I dont see any way to enable multiple users on my phone so that I could share it with my sister while having her own apps etc thereby maintaining privacy. I have read that this is available on s21 or s22 series, but why is this not available now on the latest flagships?. My Huawei phone from 2018 has this native android feature and Samsung doesn't? why even bother removing such a useful feature?. 😡 Now I have to share my older huawei phone instead of my newer samsung phone. 🙄. Does samsung really just tend to remove features that otherwise work fine anyway?. Last feature i noticed that was removed was the highlight feature on samsung gallery, now this?. 😡

Hi Joshua,

The multiple-user feature is not available for Samsung Galaxy smartphones (but is available for our tablet line.) This is to ensure security for your Galaxy device. 

Hope this clears things up.

How is it not secured though?. Both profiles could be secured with a pin and fingerprint anyway. As this is something I already done on my 5.5yr old Huawei Honor 10 with Android 10. The open source Android 14 still natively supports it, why does samsung disable it on the galaxy?... If its not secured, then why is it on the tablet line of Samsung?... it doesnt just make sense to me.

This will only be enabled when and if apple introduces multiple profiles on their phone.  By Enabling this feature you will not be motivated to buy a new phone, therefore to keep the samsung economy going, this feature has been disabled.

when apple introduces any similar feature (very unlikely though) then samsung will try to copy some of these features.

Samsung does not realise that a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush.

Stupid decision. Very regret to buy this phone. Only buy this phone for multiple users for android phone. Perhaps i should check first whether this expensive phone support multiple users or not.

If i can return this phone. It would be great

Really wish y'all could come up with an actual excuse and not just some half-afeafe one. There is literally no reason for it to be labeled as "insecure" when you use it on a Tablet in your product line. Nothing changed between that tablet and a phone. Especially when half of your phone line is a foldable tablet. Its really just because it would require actually figuring out the issues that you never cared to look into back during the One UI 5.0 beta where it was available. Just be honest and say you won't do it until Apple does it first. Then you will finally spend the time on a feature that people ask for every couple days from all the posts I see online in forums (both official and unofficial). It is just showing how little y'all care about the customers since you constantly lie and ignore us. But don't worry, the new "AI" features that barely work and insecurely store data are way more important than what the consumer actually wants. Gotta collect all that data to sell because we aren't enough of a product to begin with.

What security? I hope security is not in the same hands of guys giving such stupid answers

So no, it doesn't clear nothing

It's purely frustrating and downright infuriating that a such basic and essential feature is missing from a flashing phone. Why innovate if you can't perfect the essentials!?? Any excuse to this would be Total BS! 

Can't even Switch Cellular Data SIM to SIM2 without forcing it to become primary SIM😏. Worst UI Experience ever. 

Being a long time Huawei Mate 20X user, the user experience on S24 ultra feels like a downgrade. We miss the Golden days of Huawei! 

Whyyyyyyyy

I'm glad I ran across this issue before I bought my 6th galaxy but now where do I go? Apple is never a option, Samsung is chasing margins becoming everything ppl hate about Apple. Who has multi user and comparable quality without throttling functions?

Might have been Huawei, though the lack of gms support will be a pain in the ***. Camera is definitely superb though than any galaxy models they have atm.
