Samsung announced a new software update today. This update brings a Guest Mode feature to its latest Galaxy smartphones and tablets. Users can now safely share their devices with others. Guest Mode protects personal information effectively.

Activating Guest Mode is simple. Users find it in the Quick Settings panel. Tapping the icon switches the device to the new mode. The main user’s private data stays completely hidden. Guests see only basic apps and functions.
This feature solves a common problem. People often lend their phone to friends or family. Maybe someone needs to make a quick call. Perhaps a child wants to play a game. Before Guest Mode, owners risked exposing messages, photos, or emails accidentally. Now, that worry disappears.
Guest Mode shows a clean, limited interface. Personal apps and files are not accessible. The guest cannot see the owner’s notifications. They cannot view private photos or messages. The owner’s accounts remain secure and invisible.
Guests get basic tools. They can use the phone app, the camera, and a web browser. They can access some pre-approved apps if the owner allows it. They cannot install new apps or change important settings. Everything the guest does stays within the session.
Ending Guest Mode is easy. The owner just switches it off. The device returns instantly to the normal user profile. Nothing the guest did affects the owner’s personal space. No guest data or activity remains on the device.
Samsung designed this feature for real-life situations. It protects privacy during device sharing. Parents find it especially useful for handing their phone to kids. Professionals appreciate it when letting colleagues use their tablet briefly. It offers peace of mind.
