Abstract
User switching for multi-user devices is provided. Each of multiple users of the multi-user device can have multiple external accounts that are each associated with one or more applications installed at the device. The user switching is provided such that each application installed at the device can be operated using user-specific data for the correct account of the correct user. The user switching is provided such that an app developer of an application for the multi-user device does not have to manage multiple data stores for multiple users.
