Now that I've added a 2nd Google account (work, because I use it for email & Contacts) to the phone I want to make sure the phone's PRIMARY Google account is the first one I had already added.

But I'm not sure how to find (let alone how to assign) which Google account is the phone's primary account, or even if there is such a thing as a primary account (and what that even means) in Android 9.

Sorry but I'm an Android noob setting up his new phone.

Edit: I've 'googled' the heck out of this, with no success. There are plenty pages with instructions on how to handle it, and what it even means) on earlier version of Android than 9, though, but I can't see how/if they apply on 9.
