Managing Chrome Profiles on Android Phone

Managing Chrome Profile On Android Phone

With profiles, you can keep all of your Chrome info separate, like bookmarks, history, passwords, and other settings.

Profiles are ideal when you want to:

• Share a computer with multiple people.
• Keep your different accounts, like work and personal, separate. 

Delete, switch or add users

You can share your device with family and friends by creating a user profile for each person. Each user profile has a personal space on the device for custom Home screens, accounts, apps, settings and more.  You must be the device owner to add, update, or delete users.

Important: Some of these steps only work on Android 14 and up.
