Introducing Multi-Backend Support on Wire iOS

We’re excited to announce a major enhancement to the Wire iOS app - support for multiple accounts across multiple backends. With this release, we’re pushing the boundaries of flexibility and security for professionals and organizations using Wire across different environments.

What's New?

Wire has always supported multiple accounts on iOS, but previously they had to belong to the same backend (e.g., all on Wire Cloud or all on the same on-prem instance).

With the new multi-backend support, you can now:

• Connect up to three accounts as before, now with support for different backends.
  
  
• Log in to accounts from different backends, whether they’re on Wire Cloud or Wire On-Premises or Wire Private Cloud.
  
  
• Keep each account completely isolated, with no data crossover or interference.
  
  
• Push notifications, preferences, and account settings are scoped to the specific account. No cross-account leakage.
  
  

Why This Matters

In today’s complex digital ecosystems, many professionals work across multiple organizations or environments - each with distinct compliance, privacy, and infrastructure needs. This update enables:

• Wire iOS users to stay connected to multiple accounts securely.
  
  
• Enables users to use personal and work accounts side-by-side.
  
  
• Global organizations with separate Wire deployments to collaborate seamlessly.

Wire becomes your unified communication hub, no matter where your accounts are hosted.

If you’re using the previous multi-account setup (same backend), everything continues to work as expected. This update builds on that foundation, with enhanced flexibility for enterprise use cases.
