Gmail

Chrome

In Chrome, you can only sync one account at a time. Tap the 3-dot icon on the top right, go to Settings and tap Sync to review sync settings. Back on the Settings screen , you'll see a list of all accounts when you tap the main account, but you can't switch between them or tweak settings.

To use multiple Chrome profiles on Android, you must use a tool like Parallel Space. However, you can choose an account that syncs with Chrome.

Go to Settings , tap Sync and select Sign out and turn off sync . Also clear your Chrome data from this device option .

When you turn Turn on sync back on , you can choose a different account for your Chrome browser. When you do this and do not delete the previous data, you will be asked if you want to combine the data or save them separately.
