Android 13 will bring a keyguard profile switcher for people to use the device with multiple users on a single smartphone. The feature highly resembles that of a PC that can change user profiles in a whim.

XDA Developers shared a report that Android 13 will bring a profile switch for people to enjoy, featuring a lock screen function that will allow people to change users there. The profile switching for the lock screen is a feature best known and found on computers and laptops that will enable owners to switch the shared device to present certain features and preferences. 

That means that the Android will have different presets inside it, and it represents something like the "Second Space" from devices like Xiaomi. 

In addition to this, Esper's development platform for Android said that the keyguard profile switcher is coming to Android 13's release soon.

The profile switcher is a massive jump to feature PC functions in the smartphone device, and it will bring a great deal of programming and change to its offers. Moreover, PCs already take a hard time switching between profiles, especially when process and storage are used up, which would go for smartphone devices. 

Android 13: What's to Come? 

Google brought Android to a massive new platform: its seamless connection to Microsoft's Windows 11 operating system. Several apps and the link of both technologies open up the world to immense possibilities of making different features available on both the mobile and PC platforms for global users. 

Android 13 is coming this 2022, and despite Google not yet releasing a public beta for it, the current version it has for developers and selected users to give a glimpse of what it holds. Several leaks about the Android 13 surfaced in the past, talking about the "Android Tiramisu," which will bring the latest features for the devices. 

However, the leak above is a different take on Android from Google, and it will involve the features of PC coming to the portable smartphone. The goal of the smartphone is to have a pocket PC, which is what Google will make available now for people to enjoy, including the ability to switch profiles on the lock screen, like what computers offer.
