I am sure it has been covered, but can't find anything...
What is the purpose of having user profiles?
It blocks access to the app for whoever was not the last driver, and forces you to tap on the screen before you can see any other functions, so not sure what value it brings.
Both of us using a single profile would remove the first problem, but can you remove the initial screen completely?
User profile functionality
It seems to have no benefit whatsoever. Allegedly the last update added memory of mirror and seat positions (if you have electric seats) to the user profile, which then makes sense.
It would make more sense if the profile tied to the key as well as not blocking use of the app.

yup its pointless & annoying for most people, especially when a car only has one driver and the screen stays 'stuck' there when you drive off.
VW claim it is for GDPR compliance reasons - which is nonsense, GDPR can effectively be approved when you create a profile not should not be needed each & every time you start the car.

Profiles are there so each driver gets their settings – like seat position or climate control preferences. You can switch to a shared profile, but sadly, you can’t fully disable that screen. The system is designed to recognize you instantly
