I originally posted this on Reddit but had no replies so trying here.
So I have a Moto phone running Android 13. The phone has the 'multiple users' function enabled with two user accounts.
I'm a little unclear how Macrodroid operates under this arrangement. I assume that the app itself is common to both users but the data (macros and settings, etc.) are held independently for each user?
So each user can have their own set of different macros but only one user can be in the foreground at any one time.
This raises a number of questions.
TIA

This raises a number of questions.
- It appears that macros for the 'non-foreground' user are still 'active' in that they still trigger, however user interaction with them is clearly impossible. Are these abandoned if user input is required?
- Can these 'other-user' or background macros make any changes to the foreground user's state? For example if a background macro is set to turn off WiFi does this get actioned for the foreground user or not?
- If there are background-user macros and foreground-user macros with the same triggers but with conflicting actions what happens?
- Clearly any user interaction triggers (screen swipes, etc.) will only be active for the foreground user, but how can someone writing a macro determine if other triggers (sensors, etc.) will 'fire' for the background user or not?
