Multiple Users Accounts on Android Tablet. Its Possible with MultiUser Droid

John Smith works as a Team Manager in an MNC where he's responsible for important projects and needs to keep in contact with his team members all the time via mails and reports. He has been using a Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet for this purpose which he carries with himself all the time until he returns back home at night. At home, John's little daughter Tina loves Galaxy Tab too and finds fun reading stories on Kindle app and play occasional games. John doesn't want to disappoint his little kid but was always worried about his data on the device until he discovered about MultiUser Droid for Android. Now he just have to maintain different user accounts- one for himself and another restrictive account for his daughter where he allows only the apps required by her. Secured by MultiUser Droid, John happily hands over the tablet to Tina to let her play without interfering with his official data.

MultiUser Droid maintains individual settings for each user account providing complete control over the device for the device administrator. On successful login, John and Tina get their own homescreen. The best part, John is no more worried about sharing his device with Tina and Tina is happy too.
