Patent attributes
An option within a first application is provided that enables automated switching to a second application. When the option, which is referred to as switching selector, is selected, contextual information (e.g., identification of dependent user, identification of provider, credentials, etc.) about the experience in the first application is gathered and shared with an application switching service. The application switching service generates an identifier that can be used by the mobile device to load a second experience in the second application that is contextually similar to the first experience. This can include automatically logging the user in to the second application and loading dependent user data in the second application associated with the same dependent user that was being viewed in the first application.
