Realme: Switch Between User Accounts

Setting up a second profile on your Realme phone is only half the job if you cannot find your way back to your own account. Many people get stuck on a guest or family profile because the switch option sits outside the obvious settings screen. Add a lock screen PIN or pattern and the whole process feels even less obvious.

Switch Between User Accounts auf Realme

Realme UI keeps every user profile separated for privacy, so switching between them is never a single tap from the home screen. The administrator account, a guest profile, or any additional user each run their own apps, wallpapers and notifications, and Android only lets you jump between them through a dedicated menu.

The fastest confirmed path goes through the settings app: Tap on SettingsTap on Users & accountsTap on Multiple usersChoose an UserTap on OK. Selecting a profile here loads it immediately, and the phone briefly shows a loading screen while it switches context.

If a screen lock is active, Android asks for the PIN, pattern or password of the target profile before it grants access. This is a security measure, not a bug, and it applies even if you are already unlocked in your current profile.

Quick settings offers a shortcut to the same switcher on many Realme devices, which is useful if you swap profiles often and do not want to open the full settings app every time. Use the settings path instead when the quick tile is missing or when you need to manage more than two profiles at once.

Frequently asked questions

Each profile can have its own lock screen method. If one is set on the target account, Android requires it before loading that profile, even from an already unlocked phone.
