If you use your phone for both personal and professional purposes, you might be interested, for example, in being able to access your personal Facebook account and your professional Facebook account independently with two applications. Or on Instagram. Or WhatsApp. Whichever application you choose, on Android it is possible to install multiple copies of the same application which you can keep open and running simultaneously. Here you have not one method, but several to achieve it: some are native and others are among the best apps in the Google Play Store.
With native Android app
Some Android devices natively support app cloning, allowing you to run multiple copies of the same app without installing anything else. This feature is available on Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, and OnePlus phones, among others, under different names. Thus, it is called “Dual Messaging” in Samsung and Parallel Apps in OnePlus.
As an example, below these lines you have some screenshots of how Dual Messenger or Dual Messaging works on Samsung, which you can access from ‘Settings‘>’advanced features‘.
This function is intended to create two copies of social media and messaging appsalthough you also have the option of cloning other applications depending on the tool used.

parallel space
Parallel Space is a pioneer in the app cloning niche. It is based on multiDroid, the Android virtualization system par excellence. With Parallel Spece, you can create two versions of the same application with separate data files so that both versions work independently.
Stands out for its ease of use and for its neat privacy features to protect your data, allowing you to keep app clones in a secret space with security lock.
To switch between apps, one touch is enough and it even has a speed mode to speed up the process. What is good is that can clone virtually all popular apps, including Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter. To allow you to distinguish between the two versions, it is possible to customize the themes.
To run multiple instances of an app with Parallel Space, simply download the app and open it, tap ‘Add an app‘ and select the ones you want to clone. Once you have them in this space, open them with a tap.
dual space
Dual Space is another of the best apps to clone apps from the Google Play Store that shines for its low CPU consumption and good support for mirroring applications messaging, social networks and others. So you can clone almost all popular apps and do it quickly and then use them simultaneously without data interference.
An interesting point is cHow do you handle notifications from cloned apps? so that it does not mislead you compared to the standard application. As in the previous application, the private space function will allow you to use your different accounts in complete security.
To get started with Dual Space, all you have to do is open the app once it’s downloaded, tap the ‘+’, and choose the app you want to clone from a long list. Then you will enter the space with your cloned apps, where you can cancel duplicates and configure passwords and notifications as you wish. In the “must”, the free version is quite loaded with advertising.
2 pearls
2Cuentas is another great app for creating Android clone apps. Supports a large number of applications of all kinds and even games. It has a virtual space feature that stores all data of cloned apps to avoid interference between standard and duplicate apps.
With 2Cuentas you can open two Google Play game accounts, it has secret area and lock function to protect your data and privacy. To clone with 2 accounts, open the app, tap the ‘+’ and choose from the list. In seconds you will have it ready.
