Why iPads Need User Profiles

There's one thing wrong with sharing your iPad with your family... nothing is private.
Most people today have their own email address and social media account. This means that a typical family of four will have at least four different email address, and at least as many social media accounts. In fact, each family member is likely to have multiple social media accounts for everything from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, so there's a pretty good chance that there could be 20 or more accounts to juggle on the typical iPad.
Unfortunately, since the iPad doesn't have a feature that lets each family member have their own User Profile, anyone who uses it will end up using the same email and social media accounts.
This can be particularly disturbing if a child accidentally reads, deletes or sends sensitive email or social media posts using the one of the parent's accounts.
Laptop and desktop computers don't have this problem because each family member has the ability to create their own login. This allows parents to securely keep their own email and social media accounts, documents, web bookmarks, and settings.
