Do iPhones even have a way to add multiple users yet? Last time I checked there was no option, but I haven’t bothered for a while, so did they finally add that?
Work profile: I can split my works stuff and personal very easily (and for security as personal apps cannot see or work with work stuff usually).
This also helps if you want to get same app installed multiple times. Ex. I could install pokemon go and use two profiles same time with split screen.
“true” secondary profile: like in desktop OS where you can create multiple profiles, this will “boot” phone to new profile and it has own partition and apps. Cannot interact with other “true” profiles.
I use that with my child if I hand phone to her. She cannot get to my stuff (not even images or other data) and only has her stuff available.
So do you have a work phone number? Do you have different contacts? Do you just have a bunch of duplicate contacts?
I’m really not seeing the benefit when you could just organize your work applications in a single area and use your notification settings to determine which contacts get what types of notifications when you are “work mode.” I assume android has that, since iOS certainly does.

I’ve never considered multiple users on a phone to be a feature I’d ever use. Interesting concept I guess.
I personally got couple use cases.
