Different front page for logged in and logged out user but the same URL in Wordpress

I have two home pages created in WP. One is set as the front page but for only logged-out users. For logged-in users, they see home page 2 as their home page.

However, I want the URL for logged-in users to be the default URL of my site. So a mere redirection doesn't work as I will have site.com/home-2.

Is there a way I could achieve this? The code below came across doesn't work and breaks my site.

unction switch_homepage() {
    if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
        $page = 2516; // for logged in users
        update_option( 'page_on_front', $page );
        update_option( 'show_on_front', 'page' );
    } else {
        $page = 2; // for logged out users
        update_option( 'page_on_front', $page );
        update_option( 'show_on_front', 'page' );
    }
}
add_action( 'init', 'switch_homepage' );

?

If you're just trying to display different content to logged-in vs. logged-out users, I'd recommend using the the_content filter.

add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpse_387084_content_selector' );
function wpse_387084_content_selector( $content ) {
    if ( is_front_page() && is_user_logged_in() ) {
        $page = get_post( 2516 );
        $content = $page->post_content;
    }
    return $content;
}

The above code assumes that you've set the "Page on Front" to the page with ID 2, and that's what you want to show to unauthenticated users.
