According to the AppleinsiderApple will add this new feature on iPhone and iPad devices. Signature is working on the development of Secure Enclave technology, which allows multiple users to safely share their iPhone or iPad without revealing personal information to other users.

The content of the patent says: “A device can consist of several passwords and encodings, and these passwords and encryption can be associated with different users on the system. Before a user can access device data, they must authenticate through the login screen.

This patent was credited to three inventors, Pierre Olivier Martel, Arthur Mesh and Wade Benson. Among his many patents listed above is one related to multi-user access to data containers on one device. The new patent is far from Apple’s first multi-user study on iOS devices. Since 2013, it has applied for comprehensive patents on multiple users of the same Touch ID-enabled device.

However, if this feature is truly supported by Apple, it seems the company has been a bit slow this time, as Android phones have supported multi-user experiences since early 2019.
