I don't know if jailbreaking would solve this, but if iPads could have multiple users I'd have bought one by now. Since schools and now businesses have this option it's probably possible.

This is why I stopped buying new iPads. These are usually used by multiple people and there’s no good reason for Apple to withhold multiuser after introducing it to the education market some years ago. With current hardware and memory, it should be easier and quicker than before to switch users.

This actually used to be possible (and may still be?) with the iUsers app in Cydia. That was maybe 10 years ago, though.

I’d jailbreak my iPad Pro immediately if I could get multiuser support. I really hope the multiuser stuff from tvOS 13 or Apple’s implementation for education accounts make it into iPad OS.
