How to use multiple profiles in Google Chrome

Resolution

Computer

  1. On your computer, open Chrome
  2. At the top right, click Profile
  3. Click Add
  4. If you choose to Sync to your Google Account, your profile name will automatically be your Account name
  5. Choose a name, photo, and color scheme

If you choose to turn sync on in Chrome with a Google Account for the new profile, your bookmarks, history, passwords, and other settings will sync automatically. 

If you do not want the "Who's Using Chrome?" window to pop up upon launch of Google Chrome uncheck "Show on Startup".

Mobile Devices

You can only have one Chrome profile on Androids, iPhones, and iPads. You will need to sign out of the existing account, and then sign into the new one.
