is there a quick way to switch between user profiles?

I'm wondering if there is a way to set up a quick way, may be by pressing a power button, to switch between User Profiles? I know I can end a secondary profile by pressing a power button and taping on "End Session". But to switch from Owner to another user profile i have to dig or search through Settings and having to click a bunch of times...

The quick settings menu allows you to switch between user profiles with just one tap. To access it, just swipe down from the top of your screen to open the quick settings menu and look for the user icon at the bottom. Give it a try!

Thank you! I wish it was in the Graphene OS FAQ or Usage doc.

I think I know what would make multiple profile support more usable. Why do we switch? To use an app or to react to a notification. If we could have an application in a profile A and an application "stub" in the profile B...that "stub" would be uniquely linked to a specific profile and specific app. Starting this app would initiate the profile switch and, if possible, launch that specific app after the switch. And if we could somehow connect the cross-profile notification from the original app to that matching "stub" in the current profile, this would allow the notification to use the custom sound etc. Overall, still disconnected enough.

Of course, this would reveal the existence of another profile and that specific app in it. But the creation of such a "stub" would not be mandatory, so everyone could make a choice.

Just a thought.

ngrigoriev perhaps I'm not understanding correctly, by wouldn't the "send to notifications to current user" toggle achieve this?

It does, but it "masquerades" the notification wrapping it into GrapheneOS generic one. So, both messaging app and Ring app triggering the notifications in another profile produce the notifications that are almost identical except the app name and profile name - and that only if you expand the notification. I would probably ignore the messaging app one but react to the Ring one if they were visually different and played the different sound.
