If you want to create a “clone version” of your mobile (meaning having two separate spaces or environments on one device), many smartphone brands offer features like Second Space, App Clone, or Dual Space. These allow you to run multiple accounts, separate work and personal profiles, or create an entirely isolated space within your phone.
Vivo: App Clone & Parallel Apps
- App Clone: Vivo allows you to clone apps for dual accounts, useful for apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, etc.
- How to enable:
- Go to Settings > App Clone.
- Select the apps you want to clone (WhatsApp, Facebook, etc.).
- Parallel Space (Limited): Vivo does not support full device cloning or “Second Space” but focuses on app cloning.
Samsung: Secure Folder & Dual Messenger
- Secure Folder: Samsung provides the Secure Folder feature, which creates a completely separate and secure environment within the phone where you can install duplicate apps, files, and even manage separate accounts.
- How to enable:
- Go to Settings > Biometrics and Security > Secure Folder.
- Set up a new folder, and you can use apps independently in this space.
- Dual Messenger: This feature lets you clone messaging apps to use two different accounts.
- How to enable:
- Go to Settings > Advanced Features > Dual Messenger.
- Select apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, or Telegram to duplicate.
Redmi (Xiaomi): Second Space & Dual Apps
- Second Space: This feature allows you to create a separate, fully functional “space” within the phone. It’s like having two phones in one, where you can have different apps, accounts, and settings.
- How to enable:
- Go to Settings > Special Features > Second Space.
- Follow the instructions to create and switch between the two spaces.
- Dual Apps: This feature lets you run two instances of an app on the same device.
- How to enable:
- Go to Settings > Apps > Dual Apps.
- Select the apps you want to clone.
Realme: App Cloner & Private Space
- App Cloner: Realme phones allow you to clone apps for dual accounts on social media and messaging platforms.
- How to enable:
- Go to Settings > App Management > App Cloner.
- Choose the apps you want to duplicate.
- Private Space: Although not as robust as Redmi’s Second Space, Realme has features like Private Safe for securing files but does not offer a full dual-space system.
Oppo: Clone Apps & Private Safe
- Clone Apps: Oppo’s feature is similar to app cloning on other brands, allowing you to duplicate apps like WhatsApp and Messenger.
- How to enable:
- Go to Settings > App Cloning.
- Enable the apps you want to clone.
- Private Safe: This feature is more about securing files than creating a full “clone” of your phone, but it adds a level of security for personal data.
OnePlus: Parallel Apps & Work-Life Balance Mode
- Parallel Apps: This feature allows you to duplicate apps for two accounts.
- How to enable:
- Go to Settings > Utilities > Parallel Apps.
- Choose the apps you want to clone.
- Work-Life Balance Mode: This is a unique feature that helps you manage different modes for work and personal life. While it’s not a full cloning feature, it allows for easier separation of notifications and apps based on your profile.
Apple (iPhones)
- No Direct Dual Space: Apple doesn’t have a direct feature like Second Space or Dual Apps as Android does. However, apps like WhatsApp and others allow multi-account management using third-party apps.
- For managing two accounts, you’d have to rely on Business Accounts for apps like WhatsApp or use Family Sharing for profile management.
- Full Dual Space (Two “Phones” in One): Redmi, Huawei
- App Cloning (Two Accounts in One App): Vivo, Samsung, Redmi, Realme, Oppo, Huawei
- Private or Secure Folder (Separate Environment for Sensitive Data): Samsung, Huawei, Oppo
Conclusion :-
Each brand has its own unique approach to offering dual accounts or cloned spaces. Redmi’s Second Space and Samsung’s Secure Folder provide the most robust dual-phone experience, while others focus on app cloning.
