Duplicate an app to use with other account

If you use multiple accounts for the same app, you can clone the app and sign in with a different account.

Not all apps allow cloning

To see which of your installed apps are available to clone, review the list at Settings > Apps > Cloned Apps.

These types of apps typically don't allow cloning:

  • Banking apps: Many banking and financial apps implement security measures to prevent cloning due to the sensitivity of personal data.
  • Payment apps: Apps like PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App often have restrictions on cloning for security reasons.
  • Enterprise apps: Some business applications have security protocols that prevent them from being cloned.
  • Game apps: Certain games, especially those with online features, may not function correctly when cloned due to account integrity checks.
  • Social media apps: While many social media apps can be cloned, some (like Snapchat) have measures in place to detect and block cloned versions.

If you’re unsure about a specific app, search its help content or community forums for information or known issues with cloning.
