How to setup and use Guest Mode in Xiaomi Redmi Note 3?

Privacy of data in your smartphone and the content in the apps is important for most of us. It is not just your children but friends, family members and others too who could easily get access to all of your data once they have your phone in their hand. Xiaomi has, thankfully, included a good Guest Mode for the same reason – maintain privacy.

Xiaomi separately has a Child mode in Redmi Note 3, using which you can allow certain apps to be used by your but the Guest Mode is about more than that. Learn about its features and functionality in the guide below.

How does the Guest Mode work in Redmi Note 3?

When the phone is running on Guest mode, the Messages, Notes, Photos, Settings, and the Incoming calls will be hidden.

At the same item, if you want Guest mode to not limit everything and let you choose to lock individual apps, you will need to have a Password to turn the guest mode off.

How to set up and Activate Guest Mode on Redmi Note 3?

To activate Guest mode on the Redmi Note 3, you need to go to Settings > Additional Settings > Privacy > Privacy Protection, and here you can toggle Guest Mode.

Remember that you need to have a password set up already. If not, do that and later, activate guest mode.

To set up individual apps to be locked, you’ll see the options just below the Guest mode toggle. Toggle the “Lock individual apps” option and go to the next option to choose which apps to lock.

The Guest mode is a bit different from both, Child mode and Lite Mode, because in Child mode you don’t even get to show the home screen but only have selected apps shown on a screen, and in the Lite Mode, there is no restriction but a very simpler interface where you don’t have to enter passwords or do something else.
