More often than not you are asked by your friend to lend your mobile for a while. You oblige but are apprehensive that he would unwittingly change your setting, preferences or even delete your valuable messages and contacts putting you into inconveniences. Android’s latest version, 5.0.1 Lollipop, has provisions for switching over to the Guest Mode – a separate profile that keeps your settings and data safe from being infringed upon and compromised.
Guest Mode on Android Device
While handing over your Android device or smartphone to your friend or any other person for use, you can enable the Guest Mode through the following processes –
Go for the navigation bar by swiping down the top of your device. Once you are there, tap it twice on the right corner. Soon you would find three icons, viz. Google Account, Add Guest and Add User. You have to tap ‘Add Guest’. The device will switch over to the Guest Mode, though the process may be a little slow. The device will appear to be slower in the initial stage, but would function well soon thereafter. Your friend is in the Guest Mode will have no access to your profile or your data, and the data that you have saved will stay secured. He would find the device as good as a new one with freshly installed Android Lollipop.

On getting back the device, you can as easily revert to your old setting in no time. The procedure to be followed is similar to the one you used for switching in to the Guest Mode. You need to tap again the on the right-end corner to switch back to your Google account. Once that is done, all the documents and data saved under the Guest Mode would get deleted, leaving your device unscathed and unharmed.
