As a One UI 8.5 Beta 1 tester, I would like to propose adding full multi-user support to the system, similar to the implementation found on Google Pixel devices. This feature would allow creating up to 10–15 separate system users, each with fully isolated data, apps, and system environments.
Additionally, I suggest enabling the creation of a dedicated Knox container for each user. This would significantly enhance confidentiality, data isolation, and security, allowing users to separate personal data, work profiles, and potentially unsafe or experimental applications within different user accounts.
Such functionality would be especially valuable for power users, developers, families sharing a single device, and security-conscious users. It would also reduce the risk of data leakage between profiles and provide stronger protection against malicious apps.
In my opinion, one of the best real-world implementations of multi-user isolation and security is currently found in GrapheneOS. Adopting a similar approach — while integrating Samsung Knox — would position One UI as a leader in privacy-focused Android ecosystems.
This feature would greatly improve privacy, flexibility, and overall user trust in the Samsung platform.

@betatestterss,
Thank you for your detailed suggestion regarding full multi-user support in One UI 8.5 Beta. We appreciate the time you took to explain the benefits, including isolated data, multiple system users, and dedicated Knox containers for enhanced security and privacy.
I’ll forward your proposal to our development team for consideration. Feedback like this helps our team understand what features are most valuable to power users, developers, and security-conscious users 😊.

I moved away from Samsung phones because they don't support multi user.

I hope Samsung adds multi user on there phones. I have been one of Samsung phone users for a very long time but because they don't support multi user I had to move to other android phones
