Thanks, that helps a lot. The preferences I was referring to were, well, anything. If I have VO enabled, and someone else logs into their account, VO would continue to be enabled. That is, it's not like user accounts on a computer.
What about apps, though? If I buy an app, then someone else logs into their account, could we still use the app I bought? I imagine the only problem would be updates, where it would want my password? Either way, it's great to know that switching accounts is pretty easy. > On Jan 11, 2016, at 08:30, Christopher-Mark Gilland <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Yup. It's quite easy.
