Guest Mode
Guest Mode is a feature in software applications, particularly in web browsers and operating systems, that allows users to browse or use a system without leaving traces of their activity, such as cookies, history, or temporary files. It provides a temporary, isolated session that resets upon exit, ensuring privacy and security for shared or public devices. This mode is commonly used to prevent data persistence and maintain user anonymity during short-term usage.
Developers should learn about Guest Mode to implement privacy-focused features in applications where users need temporary access without affecting stored data, such as in public kiosks, shared computers, or testing environments. It is essential for enhancing security by preventing unauthorized access to personal information and for debugging applications in a clean state without cached data interfering with tests.
