Add apps to default Guest account on Lollipop I like the guest account feature on lollipop, but I would like to add apps to the account, so that a guest can use more than just native google apps, that I have available on my device. I know this was working in KitKat with a "new user". Is this not possible with just the "guest" user? Do I have to create a new user for that? Are there any drawbacks for having such a "hard guest" account for this purposes on a device? Like a considerable CPU/battery/memory impact?

Adding a restricted user seems to be, what you are looking for.

This should work in Lollipop tablets.

After creating such an account you can select which of your installed apps are usable by that account.

Sadly that feature does not seem to exist on Lollipop smartphones though.

There is a workaround though that may also suit your needs.
