If you do not see this option

App not in Suggested apps? Tap See other apps. Ours added Drive, Gemini, Gmail, Google TV, Keep notes, Maps, Meet and YT Music.

Older Nothing OS? Nothing says Cloned apps has been in Settings, Apps, Cloned apps since Nothing OS 2.0.0, for compatible third-party apps. Source: Does Nothing Phone support app clone?

If this does not work

WhatsApp not listed? It was in neither list on ours, because it wasn't installed. Install it first, then check See other apps; Nothing says only compatible third-party apps can be cloned. Source: Does Nothing Phone support app clone?
Want to remove the copy? Turn its switch off. Ours asked: Uninstall Instagram (2)? All data related to your copy of Instagram will be deleted. You'll still be able to use the main app Instagram.
Copy not on the Home screen? Ours appeared in the app drawer as Instagram (2), not on the Home screen. Search the drawer for the app name.

About this guide

The screenshots are from our Nothing Phone (4a) Pro, the European model A069P, with Nothing OS 4.1 and Android 16 (build FroggerPro-B4.1-260907-1153-EEA, security update 1 September 2026), in Dark theme. We cloned Instagram to check, without opening the copy or signing in, then removed it.
