Suggestion for GOS: make changing profiles discrete

K8y

Dear Graphene team,

There is an eye catching red icon that screams out loud if you have more than one profile. Certain countries' airport security get invasive and they will see this if they ask you to open your phone.

Please just make it a tiny white square (or even less noticeable) so if you want your personal information tucked away on a separate profile it will be far more protected from nosey types.

Thank you for helping bring back privacy.

Red icon? Are you referring to the profile icon next to the battery icon on the lock screen? The icon that can be changed?

K8y

Dumdum yes. That's great to know it can be changed.

Murcielago can be replaced completely by an image (camera or gallery).

Thanks!

In the respective profile under: Settings> System> Users> Profile Name> the color of the icon can be adjusted or the icon can be replaced completely by an image (camera or gallery).

I tried this pathway but saw no option to change the icon...

Maybe it's different for each phone model?

Also, if you turn off multiple profiles, the other ones don't get deleted. The switching icon dissapears, but you can always turn it back on later and nothing is lost. Still security by obscurity, but better than nothing.

I think it's the same for all models - perhaps I have expressed myself imprecisely - the first and second icons under "choose a picture" stand for take a picture and select from the gallery.

Here you can add your custom icon or simply put a single-colored (try black, the black dot looks discreet) picture.

Murcielago I got it thank you. I needed to click on the first icon. Now it's discreet.
