Multiple logins for iPad

Can my child and I share an iPad and each have our own log in? I don’t want him accessing my messages, apps, emails, etc.

iPad, iPadOS 13

Sorry, no.


Other than managed devices in Educational environments, iPad is essentially designed to be a single user device. iPad does not support use with multiple AppleID credentials.

Not possible. Separate logins is not a function of iOS.


You could each use a different app for email and for

messaging, but unless the developers of those apps

provided a way to password protect the individual app,

anyone accessing the iPad could open and read any app.


You could put the iPad into kiosk mode to limit your child

to a single app, but that does not seem to be what you want

to do.
