iPad multi user

iPadOS

Hey everyone, I’ve been thinking about how useful it would be to have proper multi-user support on iPads — without needing MDM or using the device in an educational setup.

Many people share iPads with family members, kids, classmates, or even colleagues. But unlike macOS, the iPad doesn’t support user switching unless it’s managed by an MDM system, which is usually limited to schools.

Wouldn’t it be awesome to have something like “Switch User” or even Guest Mode natively in iPadOS — just like on a Mac?

Use cases include: • Families with one shared iPad • Parents who want a separate space for kids (without going full MDM) • Shared iPads in libraries, hotels, workplaces • People who just want to keep work and personal use separate

If you think this feature would be useful too, please consider sending feedback to Apple here: 🔗 https://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

The more people who ask, the more likely they’ll notice.
