How to start Microsoft’s new personal feature

If you are already using Microsoft Teams’ mobile application for work, you just need to go to the Settings and add your personal account. You can either sign in with your personal Microsoft account or create a new one with your mobile number. Through settings, you will easily be able to switch between personal and work accounts. Once you are signed in, you can start inviting friends and family and create your own groups. To ensure the privacy of users, Microsoft Teams comes with a feature called Safe that enables you to securely store and share important information such as passwords, reward numbers, or login information
