Hi all,



I'm struggling with a technical issue that I've been trying to get rid of. I'm using a One Plus 5T and I want to completely disable/delete guest mode/ guest users. I'm using android 9.

I know you can remove it, under settings, but it doesn't actually remove it from the system.

A solution I found was by rooting the phone and going into the deeper system settings and changing a couple of values.



My phone is no longer in warranty, but I have never rooted a phone and don't want to take the risk in bricking it, especially now.



Lastly, I was wondering if there's a way to have certain apps act as system admins regardless of what user the app is originally installed on. For example, having app locker app apply to the guest user, if possible.



Please let me know your thoughts!
