Is it possible to use the same app on one iPhone for two different people (with different log in details)? I ask because my OH's iPhone is not on the minimum operating version, and so we wondered whether OH can use my iPhone, which is a little newer. I've had a look on the internet, and it doesn't look promising, but just wanted clarification, please.

Generally you would need to log one user out of the app and then register the device each time for the other person.
It is possible for some Android phones to have two copies of an app (one for each of you) at once but not on an iPhone.

It's possible, but the degree of hassle depends on your bank and their app, as each one is built differently. At a minimum, it would obviously require constantly logging out and logging in with different credentials1

The more modern versions of Android allow you to set up multiple user profiles, and my understanding is they each allow their own version of apps to be installed which are independent to each other. The secure folder operates under a similar pronciple. Switching between users then allows you to switch between different instances of the apps. Unsure if Apple does something similar.0
