Apple, Can we get multiple users please? Thank you

to expand on this request - Apple, thank you for adding "Require FaceID" functionality. I think the feature works well in a pinch if its something that doesn't need to be installed in its own space. that being said, I do think apple should take things further *while still keeping the basic "require FaceID" functionality and add a separate, more comprehensive setup for folks who want the extra data separation.

To expand on the topic a bit, some phones already have a feature called "multiple users". on a phone, however, its sort of a misnomer because the feature is meant more for "multiple personal spaces" for a *single user* to be able to add and setup a few separate spaces for app/data separation for *only them*. and that's fine, but I think apple could innovate in this area and take what pixel does, but take it further, using their software prowess to help users with screen time. Also, on pixel, while there is a toggle to enable sms text messages to work in all the different users, the feature sometimes feels like maybe it doesn't work properly. that's another area where maybe apple can innovate and fix.

also, within the last year, Google added the ability to setup private space when still logged in to the default user. it works great, but I think again, apple could take that functionality and go further. one thing that could be improved is accessibility of getting to the private space itself. currently you have to scroll all the way down your app drawer to get to it, but apple could innovate a bit and give users the option to enable a launcher icon for quick access to private space, if desired.

Also, all of this doesn't have to *replace* the "Require FaceID", which still works well in instances where getting into a whole other "space" isn't required. But again, would be a solution for those of us who want a more comprehensive solution.

draft - Google thank you for multiple users on pixel. It supports 4 slots, but 6 would be ideal, as well as the ability to setup private space when logged into an alt user

draft - can we get apple to enable multiple users on iOS? and also for Samsung to do the same for it's phones? Pixel Phones have this important security feature built in to the OS, and it works great, allowing users to have complete data separation if desired. Would like to see apple and samsung add this feature as well.

and regarding separating our own data, Thank you to google for not just multiple users (which on a phone can also be thought of as "multiple personal spaces"). They also added Private Space within the last year, which works great on Pixel. Only thing is, Private Space uses one of the "slots" for multiple users. And we only get 4. Considering that on a phone, multiple users is more about "multiple personal spaces", it would be nice if we could get two extra slots.

how I, and others may use the four multiple user slots, and why we need two more slots

slot 1 is default space

slot 2 - similar to default but with fewer "tracking apps" when we need a break without having to uninstall a bunch of apps

slot 3 - a "kiosk" mode of sorts.

slot 4 - private space. it uses one of the slots

now, I'd like to see them add the ability to set up private space, not just within the default user space, but in a second user as well. part of the reason I initially used multiple users was that i'd have my alt Google account in a separate user and avoid logging into my default Google account while logged in to the alt space as a way to keep data separate. and while that works, one thing that's missing from an "alt" space, is the ability to securely and separately sign in to our default profile just like we can from the default space, where we can use private space
