Google has added a “Switch users” homescreen widget for Pixel devices with the release of Android 16 Beta 2. This new feature is now available in the Widgets list, allowing users to switch between accounts quickly.
The widget can be expanded to take up the entire homescreen and displays a grid or list of users, as well as the Guest account. Tapping on the profile avatar immediately switches the user, while the gear icon takes you to Settings > System > Users.
This new feature is particularly useful for shared devices, such as household tablets. It’s a straightforward approach that makes sense, similar to Google’s Simple View. The switch users widget provides an easy way to manage multiple accounts and switch between them quickly.
