An Android phone has Guest Mode enabled. An employee loans their personal phone to a visitor who needs to make a call. What data can the guest user access in Android Guest Mode?
- A.B. Guest Mode creates an isolated temporary user environment with no access to the primary user's apps, contacts, or data; the guest starts with a clean Android experience and any data created in guest session is deleted when guest mode ends
- B.A. All apps and data from the primary user account are fully accessible in Guest Mode
- C.C. The guest can access contacts and call logs but not apps or files from the primary profile
- D.D. Guest Mode restricts the guest to making calls only; no apps can be opened in Guest Mode
Why A is correct
Android Guest Mode creates an entirely separate, temporary user profile with its own isolated data sandbox. The guest cannot see the primary user's contacts, apps, files, photos, or any other personal data. The guest gets a fresh Android environment. When guest mode is ended, all data created during the guest session (browsing history, downloaded files, etc.) is deleted. This makes it a reasonably safe way to lend a device for limited use.
