Oppo: Clone Apps and Run Two Accounts in One App

Need two WhatsApp, Facebook or Messenger accounts on one Oppo phone but the app only allows a single login? ColorOS lets you install a second, independent copy of many apps so you are not stuck switching accounts all day. This is especially useful on dual-SIM devices where each SIM needs its own messaging identity.

Clone Apps with App Cloner auf Oppo

Many messaging and social apps only support one active account per install. On Oppo phones running ColorOS, the App cloner function solves this by creating a second, fully independent copy of an app on the same device.

The clone runs separately from the original: separate login, separate notifications, separate local data. Nothing you do in the cloned app affects the original app or its account.

This is the built-in system feature responsible for the behavior described above, and it is reached through Tap on SettingsTap on App managementTap on App cloner. From the list, select the app you want to duplicate with Choose an App, then use Enable or disable Create app clone to turn the clone on.

When to use it, and when not

App cloner works best for apps that support only one login per install, such as messaging or social apps. If an app already offers a built-in multi-account switcher in its own settings, use that instead, since it avoids running two separate app instances and saves storage.

Not every app on the device will appear in the App cloner list. Some system apps and apps that block duplication for security reasons are excluded, and this cannot be forced through the settings.

Keep in mind that a clone takes up its own storage space and needs its own login on first launch, since it does not share data with the original app.

Frequently asked questions

No. Some system apps and apps with built-in duplication protection are excluded from the App cloner list, and there is no setting to force them onto it.
