Duplicate App Android

Duplicate App Android

For most apps, you can only install one version of the app on your device at a time. This sometimes poses a problem for people who have multiple accounts either for business or just because they want to and would love to have both accounts logged in on their device simultaneously. This isn’t exactly an easy thing to do like only a few apps (such as Instagram) will let you log in to more than one account on the same phone.

To avoid back and forth and the stress of having to clear users’ data on your apps to log in to a second account, you will have to duplicate or clone the app. Some apps make this possible on an android device. A popular example is the Parallel space app. Other examples of cloning apps are Dual Space, 2accounts, Multiple Accounts, and so on.

These apps make it easier to install and login multiple versions of the same app on a single device. Cloning apps work by creating a modified version of an existing app on your device that has a different signature. This effectively clones the app making it possible to log in to two separate accounts on one phone.

How to Duplicate an App
The first step is to download an app cloning application such as Parallel Space. This app and others like it are available on Google Play Store. Just search for the app on the store and install it.

Parallel space can be used to clone virtually all apps or games on your device. Once installed, the app will ask to give you a tour of how it works, you can follow this to get a feel of how the app works or ignore it. The app is rather intuitive so finding your way around shouldn’t be too difficult.

To add an app you wish to duplicate to parallel, tap the + button on the app and you should see a list of all the apps already installed on your device. Simply tap the apps you wish to clone and Parallel space will duplicate this app. This feature works with virtually all apps except a few exceptions.

Once the app has been duplicated you can then proceed to log into the app. This will be your secondary account. The original version of the app that you cloned will still remain in your app drawer and your primary account will remain logged in there.

Note that the cloned app will not show up on your regular app drawer with the rest of your apps. However, some cloning apps allow you to create a shortcut for the duplicate app on the home page of your device. If you do not wish to do this, you can select the app from within Parallel space each time you wish to log into your secondary account.
