How can I switch profiles in Edge on my iPad. I have two options on both Windows tablet and Windows PC. iPad does not show any location where this change can be made. My most important browsing is done in the profile that I cannot utilize on my iPad and this device is where most of my work is done. How can this be fixed?

    Hi Milton,

    This is normal behavior and currently a design limitation.

    On iPadOS, Microsoft Edge only supports one active profile at a time within the app. Unlike the Windows version of Edge, which allows multiple profiles and easy switching between them, the iPad version does not provide a built-in profile switcher interface.

    You can sign out of the current account and sign in with another, but true multi-profile switching like on Windows is not supported on iPad. This is due to how the mobile version of Edge is designed, not a configuration issue on your device.

    If you need access to two profiles regularly, possible workarounds include using InPrivate mode for temporary sessions or accessing the second profile through another browser. However, native multi-profile switching on iPad is currently not available.

    Currently, Microsoft Edge on iPad does not support multiple profiles like it does on Windows devices. This limitation means that you can only use one profile at a time on the iPad. If you need to switch profiles, you would have to do so on a device that supports multiple profiles, such as a Windows PC or tablet.

    If you are primarily using your iPad for work and need access to your other profile, consider accessing your work resources through a different method, such as using a remote desktop application or a different device that supports multiple profiles.
