mine too.
It looks like the tab's maximum user has been set to 1. I managed to solve this by entering this in the terminal or adb

su
setprop fw.max_users <number of maximum user you want>

but you will need root in order to do it.
Hope it helps sorry for my english

Use VRoot if you can. Here's a thread details for the SM-T230NU, somewhere in there is mention of your model but I believe your specific model is unrootable.

Download terminal emulator from playstore
Then type

Su
(You must allow the terminal emulator to obtain root access)
After that type
setprop fw.max_users 8 (this will set the system's maximum user to 8, you can change to whatever you want)
And voila!
Go to settings-general and you can see the user tab there
Just tell me if you have any problem

Anyone able to use Multi User on SM-T231?

Latest official firmware J4 has multi user on it?

Thanks.

Update: Got by Rooting and change the max_user setting. Works on old firmware E2.

Hi

Sorry for the necro bump

I have a galaxy tab 4 and it has a maximum of 8 users allowed to be set up.

Do you all think by doing this i could increase that amount, my goal is 10 or 12?

thanks
