    Deleted TheShaunSaw  Unfortunately Edge on Mobile platforms only supports 1 personal and 1 work/school account for now. Definitely file feedback in the app so that we can prioritize this work for you.

    Wow. Thats is almost an oversight. I'm trying to switch from Chrome to Edge and this is a major drawback.

    1. Can't have multiple personal accounts on android edge.
    2. Can't sync work account between android and windows. Needs administrator to enable it!

    Both of these aren't a problem with Chrome!

        Any idea if this is on the roadmap as a feature?

         

        It is such a show stopper for us who want to migrate from chrome to edge on android, but don't have an enterprise account to enable sync on that.

         

        Please help!
