About the Guest User Account

for that user. In Guest mode, your device starts up as a freshly installed system with only
the preinstalled apps. Once your guest is finished using your device, you can wipe the
session clean so that the next guest can start fresh. The Guest User account is

•
Settings that only affect an individual user account. Examples include automatic data
syncing, screen lock, various accounts added, and wallpaper.

Settings that are only visible to the owner but affect all users, such as VPN settings.
