How to get sincronized several profiles on my smartphone Delta Chat and laptop Delta Chat Desktop

SITUATION: First, I installed the app Delta Chat and I added my contacts on Delta Chat :slight_smile:

Second, I installed Deta Chat Desktop on my laptop with Debian GNU/Linux 13 “Trixie”, and it works perfect. I had to specify that it was the second device and I installed perfectly in one minute. Ok.

Third, and this is my point: I have a personal project and, on the latop Delta Chat Desktop, I added a new profile of this project. Works fine.

But now, how can I have sincronized this new profile on my smartphone? because on the smartphone I only have one delta chat identity and I don’t have this orange marker of my project.

Thanks in advance,
Joan

Welcome to Delta Chat! :blush:

Adding an exisiting profile on your smartphone is rather easy: from the main screen you go to the top left where your profile image is, tap on it, and a small window will open.

Then you can choose “Add a new profile” (with the + sign) and on the next screen you choose the second option - at that point you need to start the “Add a second device” from the desktop.

There must be some thing you didn’t explain correctly, because I get an error.

First: I did what you explained: I clicked on the top left of my profile and then I clicked on “Add a new profile” (with the + sign). and then I click “Add a second device”.

Second: It opened a camera QR scanner on the smartphone… so, I must scan some QR, I guess :slight_smile: Image —> unnamed hosted at ImgBB — ImgBB

Third: On the laptop, I clicked on the QR icon of my second profile of Delta Chat Desktop as you can see on the image —> 1 hosted at ImgBB — ImgBB

Fourth: I saw the QR of the second account on the screen. Image —> 2 hosted at ImgBB — ImgBB

Fifth: I scanned the QR of the second account of my laptop with my smartphone, and It says I can’t use this QR to add a second device on the smarphone. Image —> unnamed hosted at ImgBB — ImgBB

Finally I did it.

I wrote and article on my blog to help another users if they want to sincronize different accounts on different machines/laptops/smartphones:
