How To Add Multiple User Accounts To Your iPad

Now you can have multiple user accounts on your iPad! By adding a simple app from Cydia called iUsers, you can create separate accounts for many different users on a single iPad. Each account can have their own apps, mailboxes, and settings.

As you can see in the video, iUsers seems to be pretty smooth. The only downfall I can see is that you have to reboot the iPad, which doesn’t really take that long but is an inconvenience. Keep in mind that the user accounts and their settings will not sync with iTunes nor be easily restored or updated until Apple supports this functionality.

A special thanks to Pedro Franceschi for developing this hack.

To try this on your iPad, it must be jailbroken first and follow the steps below:

  1. Open Cydia
  2. Select Manage
  3. Select Sources
  4. Select Edit
  5. Select Add
  6. Type http://cydia.iblogeek.com and select Add Source
  7. Now go to search and type iUsers
  8. Select install
