Is there such a thing as usernames to login to an iphone. heres what im talking about: you have an iphone and multiple users. each user has their own apps and settings, similar to a computer's profiles. each user would have their own username and password to access the phone but no user would see the apps that aren't theirs.

So, does anyone know of a cydia app or some other mod that could do this? or is this an app that ill have to build whenever i get around to it?

Nothing out there to my knowledge. A phone is such a personalized device, there aren't many users with that need. Besides, to truely have your own profile (like on a Mac or PC), you'd need a lot more memory for separate iTunes libraries, photos, etc.
 
well, then i guess ill try to build a mod. ill probably do something like making the admin and other root files on the device and force the other username's libraries, etc. reference a cloud server or possiably their own cloud server(the one that apple gives them). idk we'll see.

That may be kind of cool. Good luck. Post if anything comes of it - I'd like to see what day-to-day functionality that could offer just out of curiosity.
