Hi - been tasked with setting up a Samsung A7 (Android 9) for a birthday present.  Was looking into having two users with the second account being somewhat restricted.  Anyway I am stuck adding the second user - have found various docs that talk about a 'users' section in the settings, but it doesn't seem to exist - am I missing something?  Has it been removed?

Appreciate any assistance.

Thanks

Select settings, users and accounts, click on users and you should then get an option to add guest or user.

Thanks - yes both of those are documented but neither seem applicable to this phone (or my s10).

Shot in the dark because I don't have the phone but have now watched an embarrassing amount of videos about it to try and help.  When you open Settings, is there a circular icon next to the search box/mic?  That looks like it might get you into the section you're looking for.

Also, on my Pie phone, you have to swipe down twice to get the User icon.

Hope this helps.

I see the Users option on my tablet but not my Note 9. Both running Pie.

Thanks all - I went a different route in the end and installed the Google Family Link app

Google Family Link - Home

So far so good - it's pretty cool.
