EDITORIAL TAKEAWAY
Check the active account before adding files or starting a work conversation. Switching accounts does not change the policies of a managed workspace.
Before you try it
- Announced October 30. The iOS and Android rollout is gradual; Switch account may not appear in Settings yet.
- Only one account is active at a time. Switching does not merge chats, files or subscriptions. Web switching supports all plan types, subject to managed-workspace controls.
- Mobile notifications can arrive for both accounts. Opening a notification for the other account switches to it.
A small next step
Our suggested way to explore the change.
- Open Settings and look for Switch account.
- Select an account you already use, or use Add account to sign in.
- Check the active account before sending a message or uploading a file.
