With the latest updates to OxygenOS 14.1, realme UI 5.0, and ColorOS 14.1, you can now clone almost any app on your OnePlus, realme, or OPPO phone. This is a very handy feature if you have multiple accounts for the same app and want to keep them separate, like two WhatsApp or Apple Music accounts. In this guide, we’ll see how to clone apps, set them up, and even delete them when needed. Let’s jump right in.
How to Clone Apps
Follow the steps below to clone any app on your OnePlus, realme, or OPPO phone.
1. Open your Settings app.
2. Go to the Apps section.
3. Tap on App Cloner.
4. You’ll see two lists—Recommended and Other.
- Recommended: These are apps that are fully supported.
- Other: These are apps that are available to clone but might have “adaptation” issues.
5. Tap on the app you want to clone and toggle Create app clone. The cloned app will be added to your home screen and app drawer.
6. You can rename the cloned app by tapping on Rename app clone.

If you want the choice of opening a document in the original or cloned app, select Always ask. However, if you want to always open quick actions in the original app, select Open original app. Note that you can’t set it to always open in the clone, only the original.
