There can be many reasons for needing a multiplied application on our mobile and luckily on Xiaomi devices we have within our reach the function of dual applications. This tool allows us to duplicate countless applications on our Xiaomi in a very simple and fast way, making us have multiple accounts on the same smartphone.
The process is very simple and we can do it with two different methods, one from the settings and the other from the complete Xiaomi security application that adds possibilities to our mobile. Duplicating applications will not affect in any case the first app that we already have on our mobile and will only create a copy of it, although without the data and information that we already have in the first one.
Steps to duplicate applications on Xiaomi
This process will not take us more than a few seconds and it is so easy to do that it gives us the possibility to use it at the necessary moment with the different apps that we need it.
- First, we will access the Settings of our Xiaomi or Redmi mobile.
- Then we look for the Applications section and access.
- The next tab will show us several sections and we choose “Dual Applications”.
- Once inside we will only have to choose one of the apps
- And don’t forget to accept Google services .
The app we select will be copied at that time and will leave us on the desktop an identical image of the original app. Then we only have to access it and configure it with an email or user different from the original or even the phone number in the case of WhatsApp or messaging applications.
If the mobile is protected by a security method such as Google Family Link or has security methods for children , we could connect with errors that prevent its use. In this case we just have to download it and repeat the steps.
How to have two WhatsApp accounts on Xiaomi
This option that we have known can of course be used with WhatsApp to have two accounts on our smartphone with MIUI or other messaging alternatives. We can do this with the first method we have known or if the first one did not seem simple enough, we have other options that can be of great help. The first of them is to enter the Xiaomi Security app and then tap Dual applications. We will reach the same point that we have seen previously and we will be able to choose which applications we want to duplicate on our mobile.
From the home screen it is also possible with the most popular apps. In this case we just have to keep our finger on the app and the option to duplicate the application will appear . Just by touching it and accepting the services we will see on our mobile a copy of the app that we can use at will.
