Managing multiple profiles in Google Chrome on Android is different from a computer. Chrome on Android does not support separate browser profiles in the same way. Instead, it uses multiple Google accounts within a single app.
To add another account, open Chrome and tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner. Then go to Settings and tap your account name at the top. Select Add account and sign in with another Google Account.
Once added, you can switch between accounts by tapping your profile icon and selecting the account you want to use. Chrome will update synced data such as bookmarks, saved passwords, and history based on the selected account.
However, all accounts share the same app interface. This means tabs, browsing sessions, and some local data may still overlap. For stricter separation, you can use your phone’s multi-user feature (if supported) to create separate device profiles.
Additionally, you can use Incognito mode for temporary browsing without saving history or linking activity to any account. To open it, tap the three-dot menu and select New Incognito tab.
You can only have one Chrome profile on Android devices.
To let someone else use Chrome on your Android device, add them to the device. Then, using Chrome, switch to that user. Learn how to add a user to Android.

If you want better separation between work and personal use, consider using Android’s work profile feature (available on some devices) or different user profiles at the system level.
In summary, Chrome on Android allows you to manage multiple Google accounts, but it does not offer fully separate browser profiles like on desktop. For full separation, you may need to rely on Android’s built-in user or work profile features.
