Die! Die! Die!
Authored by: WaltFrench on May 09, '13 06:13:56AM
I am a fairly savvy user of computing — having built them, managed them, programmed a few hundred thousand lines of code, …

And yet I believe that 99.99% of the US population is in the same sad situation as I am: we would NEVER remember this trick unless we first practiced it maybe a dozen times with a cheat sheet in hand. And if we didn't hand the phone over for a month, that we'd have forgotten it.

This trick defines counter-intuitive and non-discoverability. In a more perfect world, it would not exist, so that nobody could claim it did; then Apple might set up a multi-user system, or at least a robust guest user mechanism.

This feature was meant for a different market where someone might need a kiosk feature. Considering few use the multiuser features of their computers at home to log their kids or anyone else into a different account, I think it's safe to say that this "trick" would do nothing to affect Apple working or not working on a robust multiuser system.

What are you on about!.

Once setup you just have to remember to be in the app you want to lock the person that you are handing the device into. And triple click the home button.

You are then guided yourself.

Nothing else to remember. Apart from the pass code
