Do you want to use two WhatsApp, Facebook, or Messenger accounts on the same Android phone?
With the Dual Apps (or App Clone) feature, you can easily run two separate accounts of the same app without installing anything extra!
In this article, you’ll learn step-by-step how to enable and use the Dual Apps feature on Android.
🔹 Introduction
The Dual Apps or App Cloner feature is built into most Android smartphones (like Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Realme, Oppo, and Vivo).
It allows you to duplicate apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, or Telegram — so you can use two accounts at the same time.
This is perfect for users who want to keep personal and professional accounts separate on one phone.
🔹 Step 1: Open Settings
-
Unlock your Android phone.
-
Open the Settings app.
-
Scroll down and find Apps, Advanced Features, or Utilities (depending on your phone brand).
🔹 Step 2: Find Dual Apps / Clone Apps Option

Tap on Dual Apps, Clone Apps, or App Twin.
(The name may differ based on your device manufacturer.) -
A list of supported apps will appear — like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger.
🔹 Step 3: Enable Dual App
-
Turn ON the switch beside the app you want to clone.
-
The system will create a second copy of that app automatically.
-
A small clone icon (🔸 or 🟣) will appear on the app icon to differentiate it.
🔹 Step 4: Set Up the Second Account
-
Open the cloned version of the app.
-
Log in using your second account credentials.
-
Now, you can use both accounts — original and cloned — simultaneously!
🔹 Step 5: Remove or Disable Dual App
If you no longer need the second account:

Go back to Settings → Dual Apps / App Clone.

The cloned app will be deleted safely.
