Step by step

1. 

   Agree to the Statement of Use

   Go to Settings, Apps, App Cloner. The first time, a Statement of Use says it reads your app list and that some apps may not be fully adapted. Tap Agree and continue.

   Done

2. 

   Pick an app

   Supported apps are listed first: only Facebook on ours. The page says the clone is added to the Home screen and runs independently, and App Cloner does not support third-party launchers.

   Done

3. 

   Or use Other apps

   Tap Other apps. It says these apps can be cloned, but their clones may not work properly. We chose Block Blast!.

   Done

4. 

   Create the clone

   Turn on Create app clone.

   Done

5. 

   Check the options

   Rename app clone said Block Blast!(Clone). Default app to open said Always ask.

   Done

6. 

   Find the clone

   The clone appears on the home screen with a small badge on its icon.

   Done

7. 

   Delete the clone

   Turn off Create app clone. The phone warns the clone and its data will be permanently deleted. Tap Delete.

   Done

If you do not see this option

• App not listed? OnePlus's manual says some apps or phone models do not support App Cloner. Ours listed Facebook as supported and others under Other apps. Source: OxygenOS 14.0 User Manual
• Older OxygenOS? The OxygenOS 14 manual has the same path: Settings, Apps, App Cloner. Source: OxygenOS 14.0 User Manual

If this does not work

• Clone doesn't work properly? Other apps says their clones may not work properly due to adaptation issues. Use a supported app.
• No clone icon? The App Cloner page says it does not support third-party launchers. Use the phone's own home screen.
• Tapped Disagree? The Statement of Use says you then can't use the feature. Open App Cloner again to see it.

About this guide

App Cloner gives you a second copy of an app, for example to use two accounts. On our Nord 5 only Facebook was listed as supported.

The screenshots are from our OnePlus Nord 5 with OxygenOS 16.0.5.1201 and Android 16, in Dark mode. We made a test clone of Block Blast!, a game with no account, and deleted it.
