hard to respond in the context of a google doc - some thoughts/answers from me & ai

1. Nearly all smartphones allow a second number - you need to get a sim card (which might be a V-SIM)
2. Delegates and second users are separate issues. - Delegates was what the discussion was about.
3. The phone biometric access is bound to one human - if that is the de facto personal ID only one is allowed.
4. Multiple User Accounts: Some Android phones allow you to create multiple user accounts, similar to a computer. Each user has their own apps, settings, and data. How to do it: Go to Settings > System > Multiple users (this path might vary slightly depending on your phone model). From there, you can add a new user.
5. Guest Mode: If you just need to temporarily share your phone, you can use Guest Mode. This provides a clean, temporary environment for the other person. How to do it: Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick Settings panel, tap on your user icon, and select Add guest.
6. Family Sharing: On iPhones, you can use Family Sharing to share apps, music, and other content with family members. However, this doesn’t create separate user accounts on the phone itself. How to do it: Go to Settings > [your name] > Family Sharing and follow the instructions to add family members.
7. App-Specific Sharing: For specific apps like messaging or social media, you can often add multiple accounts within the app itself. How to do it: Open the app, go to its settings, and look for an option to add another account.

Unclear if we want to be creating a survival guide for the technology perplexed?  or just outlining the problems.

Here is a question I was wondering lately. When my husband had COVID he was stuck in the bedroom, far from his desktop computer, he ended up creating a separate user identity on my laptop. Why can't we do something like this for mobile devices? Or can we and the functionality is buried? For that matter, why can't I set up a single phone to have more than one phone number? Remember when answering machines started allowing you to set your land line to have separate mailboxes for each family member? Seems like the technology has been around a long time. And if families find it less cost prohibitive to get their kids phones instead of computers it would mean they would not have the ability to set up separate accounts on a single device.
