Sup folks need your help.
So back when you couldn’t use a PS4 controller with remote play, I used the work around of creating a secondary pan account to get the controller to work. Now I have the problem of trying to switch my remote play back to my primary account to use with the ps4 controller.
When I turn remote play on, it logs in to the secondary account, and when turning on the ps4 controller to switch to primary account, it’s logs me out of the remote play. I’m sure some must know what I’m talking about. Please advise

This is what I originally did:

STEP 1.) MAKE A SECOND ACCOUNT

If you already have a second account on your PlayStation 4, good, you'll need it. If you don't have one, it is required for this workaround, so grab another email address and make a secondary PSN and profile on your PlayStation. And yes, a full PSN account is required, a guest account will not work for this workaround.

STEP 2.) SIGN ON TO THAT SECONDARY ACCOUNT AND CONNECT

Sign in to the secondary account on your PlayStation 4 and connect that account up to the iOS Remote Play App by signing into the account on that as well. If you were already signed into your main account on the app, you must sign out of that account and sign in with the new account.

STEP 3.) THE FUN PART, USING YOUR DUALSHOCK 4

Press the PS Button on your Dualshock 4 controller and assign its profile as YOUR MAIN ACCOUNT. If you try to assign the Dualshock to your secondary account that you're currently logged in on your PlayStation 4 and Remote Play App with, you will get logged out of the app, so make sure to click on your main profile.

It'll probably take a few seconds but once it has you'll be able to press the PS Button once again and it'll switch profiles on your console over to your main profile and vwa-lah. You are now able to play games on the iOS app using your DualShock 4 controller.

You'll notice only the DualShock 4 will work and the touch-screen controls won't and this is because the app has that 'controller' assigned to your secondary profile. No different to logging into two separate accounts on your PlayStation 4 with two DualShock 4, or other controllers.

But now I can’t reverse this since remote play added ps4 controller functionality
