GuestMode: Enable Guest Mode on iPhone, iPad [Cydia Tweak]

While OS X and some of the Android devices offer a GuestMode or multiple users support, the same cannot be said for Apple’s iOS. iPhone and iPad users don’t have the luxury of settings up a Guest account or multiple accounts on a single device. Like any other feature that iOS lacks, jailbreak users can also get the guest account funtionality on their iPhone or iPad. GuestMode is a jailbreak tweak that enables guest mode on iPhone offering a fully functional and customizable guest account experience.

Here’s how GuestMode works on iPhone and iPad:

Once installed from Cydia, there are multiple ways to enable guest mode on your iPhone or iPad including

  • Guest button on Lockscreen keypad
  • Swipe left on Lockscreen
  • Swipe right past passcode on Lockscreen
  • Guest Passcode
  • Activator gesture at Lockscreen
