# Improves company switcher

## The problem

> "He was invited to PoolCloud by phone number but also signed up for a new account with this phone number, and he couldn't choose what company to log in to."

- Signing in early made a second company, with no chooser.

## What we considered

### A. Choose company after the code {chosen}

![A](https://updates.poolcloud.com/media/poolcloud/one-phone-number-several-companies/90A.png)
- Web now asks; last company preselected.

### B. Menu shows where you are {chosen}

- Sidebar shows company and role; menu switches.

### C. Company first in phone Settings {chosen}

![C](https://updates.poolcloud.com/media/poolcloud/one-phone-number-several-companies/90C.png)
- Switch from Settings; unsynced work blocks it.

### D. Invitation waiting means join {chosen}

![D](https://updates.poolcloud.com/media/poolcloud/one-phone-number-several-companies/90D.png)
- Join is offered first, so no accidental company.

## What we went with

- Last company used opens next time.
- Phone invitations need that phone's code.
- Phone app changes arrive in the next build.
