Abstract
Aspects of the subject technology provide electronic devices that operate, in part, based on enrolled user characteristics, and that can be operated by a guest user that has not been enrolled. For example, upon determining that a current user of an electronic device storing a first physical model of a primary user is a guest user different from the primary user, the electronic device may obtain initial physical characteristic data for the guest user and generate a guest physical model of the guest user based on the initial physical characteristic data. In one or more implementations, the electronic device may operate based on guest user inputs and the guest physical model of the guest user, while updating the guest physical model based on the guest user inputs.
