Google Chrome on iPadOS – How to use multiple profiles?

Must read

On my Mac, I’ve got Chrome setup with multiple profiles – each one is linked to a client I’m working-for. This allows me to sign into multiple instances of O365, Google, Slack etc by running the web apps, each profile in a separate window. It also means each profile has its own bookmarks, password manager, other settings and plugins.

I’m looking to work from my iPad sometimes, but having downloaded Chrome, I’m at a loss as to how to get the same functionality. It seems to suggest that you can run multiple profiles in different tabs, but when I go to google.com to try and change profiles, it doesn’t seem to synch any of the profile-specific information. It doesn’t even seem keen to let me change profiles. Basically, it looks like a mess.

I guess it’s probably user error, but looks like a bit of a mess. Is anyone else running multiple profiles simultaneously on an iPad?
