Google has rolled out a handy new feature in Chrome for iOS that makes toggling between personal and work Google accounts much smoother and faster. Previously, users faced the hassle of signing out and back in every time they wanted to switch accounts, which could be especially annoying for people juggling professional and personal tasks on the same device.
Now, with a simple tap on their profile icon, users can instantly switch between accounts without interrupting their browsing sessions. This update not only saves time but also helps maintain clear separation between work and personal data, such as tabs, browsing history, saved passwords, and cookies. This means that users’ work information stays secure and separate from their personal browsing activities.
This new feature is particularly valuable for organizations that follow bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies, allowing employees to use their personal phones for work without mixing sensitive data. IT administrators can also manage settings to control how data is handled and enforce security policies to protect company information.
Google’s move reflects its ongoing effort to improve user experience and security, especially as more people blend their personal and professional lives on mobile devices. This feature is currently available to users with managed Google accounts and is expected to help many users stay productive and organized while keeping their data safe.
