ChatGPT Launches Multi-Account Switching: Up to Two Accounts Logged In Simultaneously on Web, iOS, and Android
OpenAI has rolled out the ChatGPT account switching feature on web, iOS, and Android, with plans to launch it on desktop soon. Users can log in to up to two accounts at the same time and switch quickly via the account menu or "Settings — Switch Account" without needing to log out, but only one account is active at any given time. After switching, chat history, memory, files, and settings change with the account; accounts do not share conversation history, nor do they merge billing, subscriptions, or workspaces.

No more repeated logging out and back in: ChatGPT now supports multi-account switching, so AI work accounts and personal accounts no longer clash. IT Home Download the app for exclusive early access. October 31, 2026, 14:15:16 From Shandong. Updated October 31, 2026, 14:43:54
IT Home, October 31 news: Thibault Sottiaux, head of core products and platform at OpenAI, posted on X today (October 31) announcing that ChatGPT account switching has been rolled out on the web, iOS, and Android, with a desktop version planned soon.
Sottiaux also teased that there will be reset cards for the next two days.
Citing OpenAI's official changelog, IT Home reports that users can log in to up to two accounts at the same time and switch quickly without logging out, though only one account can be active at any given time.
For users who use both personal and company accounts, this update solves a long-standing pain point of logging in and switching. In the past, users who wanted to switch between personal and work agent accounts often had to repeatedly log out and log back in; now they can switch between the two accounts simply from the account menu or "Settings — Switch account."
OpenAI emphasizes that after switching accounts, chat history, memory, files, and settings all change with the selected account, and workspaces belong only to the corresponding account. Accounts do not share conversation history, file uploads, or memory content, nor do they merge billing, subscriptions, or workspaces.
Note, however, that switching accounts does not migrate chat history from one account to another; if you need to use paid features on a new account, you still have to subscribe separately.
Regarding usage rules, users can have more than two ChatGPT accounts, but only two can be logged in at the same time on the same device. If two accounts are already logged in, one must be logged out before a new account can be added; creating a second account itself is free, and new accounts default to the free plan.
On mobile, notifications can also be received according to each account's settings and device permissions. When a user taps a notification for another account, the app switches to that account and opens the relevant content, making it convenient to handle messages under different identities in a timely manner.
