Some problems when having two Google account on a phone
Actually, I don’t mind to have 2 Google accounts on the same phone although sometimes the phone gets confused when I visit a place, it always thinks that the other account who visits that place and asking for a review.
Caution: Don’t mix up with delete Google Account, you don’t want to do this as this will delete your Google account from your Android and your computer.
The other problem was when saving a contact it saved to my sister account but I managed to make it default to save to my Google account.
Recently I often received a full memory warning, usually I just removed duplicate files, large files, Whatsapp images and videos, unused apps, and other small things. But several days later the warning pops up again. I found this was mainly caused by updated apps and some active WhatsApp group that send videos and pictures.
