Some apps rely on profiles to maintain separate information for each person who uses a shared device, such as a video content app that retains which shows they watch. To avoid interrupting people with a profile picker each time they launch your app, you can save the current user’s selection on a shared device. After someone selects a profile, use [`shouldStorePreferencesForCurrentUser`](/documentation/TVServices/TVUserManager/shouldStorePreferencesForCurrentUser) to determine whether to retain the profile selection or to prompt each time your app launches. This property might be if people share a device, but don’t configure multiple users on that device. If the property’s value is , display the profile picker to determine which profile to use for the current session, but don’t save the selected profile. If the value is , and there isn’t a saved profile in , display the profile picker and save the selected profile for future use. If the value is and there’s already a saved profile, skip the prompt and use the saved profile. > Tip: > When your app runs in tvOS 15 or earlier, where ``doc://com.apple.tvservices/documentation/TVServices/TVUserManager/shouldStorePreferencesForCurrentUser`` isn’t available, display the profile picker at the beginning of each session. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
