I seem it isn’t possible to handle Switch account on iOS.  
Do you plan improvements?

hi @nicfab - first of all, welcome aboard!

to your question - yes, multi-account switching for iOS is definitely planned 🙂

it is a bit hard to say when this will actually happen, as there are some many competing things sharing the same resources.

Thank you so much for your reply.  
I am a DeltaChat enthusiast, and I hope to be useful to you.  
I hope to see this implementation on my iOS devices soon.  
All the best

Continuing the discussion from [iOS and Switch account](https://support.delta.chat/t/ios-and-switch-account/1545):

meanwhile, creating and switching “Profiles” is available on all platforms - including iOS:

by the way, we call the thing “Profile”, as it lives on your device only, it is a local thing which uses “relays” to transport messages. where “Account” is typically smth. remotely, on some server, where you log in
