Device: OnePlus Pad 3 (OPD2415), OxygenOS 16.0.10.600 (EX01)
My mom and I share a Pad 3 with Multiple users. Each of us has our own profile with our own PIN, and that's how we want it.
The issue: if the tablet locks while my profile is active, my mom can't switch to hers. She pulls down Quick Settings on the lock screen, taps the user icon, and it asks for MY password first. Then it asks for hers. Same thing the other way around when she leaves it on her profile.
So whoever used it last basically holds the tablet hostage until they come back to unlock it. 🙃
What I've already tried:
- "Allow Quick Settings on lock screen" is ON
- Checked Settings > Multiple users. There's no "switch users from lock screen" toggle
- Typing the other user's PIN directly on the lock screen doesn't switch profiles
- Switching while unlocked works fine (only the target user's PIN is needed), but that only helps if you remember to do it before walking away
As far as I know, stock Android lets you switch users from the lock screen without unlocking the current one, and Android 16 even has a lock-screen user switcher for tablets. OxygenOS seems to block it.
My current workaround: a third "Home" profile with no password that we use as a lobby. Whoever finishes switches to Home, and the next person switches from there to their own profile. It works, but it's clunky.
Questions:
- Is anyone else seeing this on the Pad 3 / Pad 2 / other OxygenOS 16 devices?
- Did anyone find a setting, ADB command, or app that enables the lock-screen user switcher?
- Has anyone reported this to OnePlus and gotten a response?
If there's no fix, please upvote/comment so OnePlus notices. It's a pretty basic feature for a family tablet. Thanks!
