Managing profiles, sync settings, and sign-in options in Edge on iOS
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
Hi,
One of the main features of the new Edge browser is being able to sync data in Microsoft accounts between devices, i.e. Favourites, Passwords etc. but I need this feature to function for iPad iOS with 2 work accounts and it will only give me the option to sign into 1 work account and 1 personal account.
I can easily open two different profiles within Edge on a desktop browser at once for each account and work seamlessly on them separately with my information synced on each.
As sync is one of the selling points for Edge Chromium, I'm trying to replicate that setup on Edge for iOS on my Apple iPhone.
I have discovered that I'm only able to sync a single work account within Edge on iOS. After I add the first Work account, when I go to add the second account it only permits me to add a personal Microsoft account, there is no option to add a second Work account.
I can remove the initial Work account which then allows me to add a different Work account, but once done I'm still unable to add a second Work account. Why is this? I can't understand the reasoning on why I'm unable to complete the same functions on the Edge browser for mobile.

Hello,
On iOS, this is actually by design.
Please refer to this:

Go to the iOS tab > Accounts section. It explains that you can have two accounts, one for personal and one for work/school.
