If you have a frield, child, or family member who frequently borrows your phone, but you want to make sure that your personal settings and apps don’t get messed up, using Guest Mode on your Samsung Galaxy On6 is the best solution.

Now not all phone models have a Guest Mode feature, but if your Samsung Galaxy On6 model has this, just follow the steps below to activate it:

2. Look for the User icon (usually located at the top-right portion of the screen).
3. Tap “Add Guest.”
4. Fill in the form and follow other instructions to set up the Guest Mode profile.
5. You may also tweak the settings of each profile by tapping on the Guest or User profile. This includes access to contacts, making calls, sending messages, and even access to images and other files.
6. Just tap on a Guest/User name to use that mode. If you want to exit Guest Mode, just tap on your main user profile or remove the guest account entirely.

This method generally works for Android phone users. However, certain brands may have different variations in setting up the Guest profile. For Huawei phone users, you can add up to 3 guest user accounts.

Just follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings → Users & Accounts → Users
2. Tap “Add User” then start setting up the User Profile.

Follow this guide if you want to check the data and WiFi usage on your Samsung Galaxy On6.

In this day and age, staying connected is essential. However, whether we like it or not, most mobile data plans put a limit on our data usage each month.

Browsing through Social Media may be fine, but downloading and streaming content can easily eat up on your monthly data allocation.

Reaching your data cap means that you cannot stay online for the rest of the month. Worse, you may be allowed to go online but it also means a huge bill by month’s end.

1. Go to Settings → Connections → Data Usage
2. From there, you can set a limit or data cap for a certain time period or billing cycle (a week, month, etc).
3. You may also press the Menu option and tap “Restrict Background Data Usage.” This option will help you manage your data usage, especially for apps that run in the background (such as Instagram and Messenger). However, this also means that the apps may stop working properly.

To check WiFi usage on the Samsung Galaxy On6, follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings → Connections → Data Usage
2. From there, tap on the Menu button (3 vertical dots on the upper-right corner of the screen).
3. Tap on “Show WiFi” then “Wi-Fi data usage.”

Alternatively, some Android handsets may need to follow these steps below:

1. Go to Settings → WiFi & Internet → Data Usage
2. Tap WiFi Data Usage to view WiFi stats.
3. From this menu, you can also view data/WiFi usage per app.

The methods above generally work for most Android phone devices. Some handsets may have slight variations, you should just look for something similar Connections, Networks, or Data Usage menus.

Huawei users however have to follow a different process. Below is a short guide to check data and WiFi usage for Huawei phone users:

1. Go to Optimizer → Data Usage
2. From there, you can view your data usage for the month.
3. You also have a Smart Data Saver feature. You may turn that on if you want to.
4. You can also tap on the apps which are shown to be big data consumers and adjust their usage/consumption accordingly.
5. You may also set a limit by tapping “More Data Settings” then “Monthly Data Limit.”

Most Android devices come with an alternative way of entering text called Swype. Many prefer this method and believe it is quicker.

When any text entry box appears, press and hold the box. Then select Input method: SWYPE. Once enabled, you simply drag your finger around the keyboard moving over the letters in the correct order to spell a word.
