The problem with this setup would be there constant profile switching and the constant screen unlocking. These profiles aren't too easy to switch/coordinate, IMHO.
Really? I've always switched very simply by pulling down to the quick settings menu and clicking the user button.
And then you have to choose the user and go through the login screen/PIN. I mean you can be done in 10-15 seconds each time, but it's for something as frequently used as a chat app, it really breaks the workflow each time you need go switch apps/users, as compared to, say, hitting the navigation button to switch app twice.
OK, well that's the price you have to pay if you want to keep it isolated. I know I can't be bothered to do it, but that's what OP requested!
I reckon there should be a way to keep both sessions logged in and more easily changeable. I mean, I asked and apparently they are running simultaneously and without pausing when you switch.
