Can I have two accounts on my Iphone

Hi, So lately I’ve been letting my brother play on my phone and I want to know if it’s possible to have two accounts on one phone where he can install and play whatever he wants without having to interfere with what I have going on and not being able to see and I mean different accounts as to where he can use his Face ID on his own acc and I use mine in my acc I have an iPhone 13 Pro. If your confused or think you understand what I’m asking for give an example of what you believe I’m asking in comments and I’ll get right back with you.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 17

No, only one Apple ID is logged into the phone and when you log out of your Apple ID, all the apps remain on your phone. There is no way to have 2 accounts where they would show apps for each user. The phone is a single user device and has never been intended to be used by 2 different users.


There is only one Passcode that can be used to sign into your phone. You can allow 2 faces to be used for Face ID, but it is only for the single account and there is no way to have a different Face option to sign in a different user.


The Mac is a multi-user device because it is commonly used by different family members in a home environment, but an iPhone is a personal device for a single person. The phone calls and messages that are received on the phone are intended for you only.
