## What Jamie wrote

This is probably my biggest gripe right now with VisionOS — it is single user. Looking at Apple devices we have iOS and iPadOS which are purely single user. watchOS is of course single user. tvOS has recently branched into multi-user in a fairly subtle way that likely very few people use. macOS of course has been multi-user. 

Currently visionOS is single user which is frustrating for a device that is so expensive, and has obvious interest in multiple family members using it. The argument against multi-user would be that the device has a personalized fit and that is just for the one person. However, it is easy to swap lenses and the light seal is magnetically attached and easily swapped as well. The Eye ID system could easily handle multiple users. 

I hope that Apple takes this as an upgrade in visionOS. It is a software thing only, and would be a big unlock if others in the family could use the Vision Pro without having to be in a guest mode and retraining the device every time.
