How to duplicate an app on the OnePlus 3 and 3T with Parallel Apps

The OnePlus 3 (and its brother the 3T) is one of the terminals that have been best rated over the past year, and the chinese manufacturer decided to give more prominence if it is to be starting to give a good support to his then-terminal star. In addition to official updates, gave the users the opportunity to sign up for a beta program to test some new features before anyone else.

With each new release coming some new features more or less interesting, although the really important thing is to fix glitches and make that Oxygen OS, and the phone in general, is better. With the most recent beta, the OnePlus 3 and 3T can now duplicate an app to use two accounts, we’ll explain how to do it.

The feature in question is called the Parallel Apps, as is the application that is in Google Play, but this is not it. Included in the settings and as you will see, it is very easy to duplicate an app to be able to use it with two accounts (Twitter or Whatsapp, to name two examples).

For a start, you must go to settings, go into ‘Applications’ and select ‘Parallel Apps’. Once inside, you will see a list of applications that are suitable to duplicate (in my case, because I do not use it as a mobile day-to-day, is only Twitter, but also works with Whatsapp and other apps), just flip the switch right and ready.

When you go to the app drawer, you will see that you have chosen twice. is The duplicate will have a small mark, so you’ll be able to put it on the desktop and, when you run it, you’ll have to configure it to include another account. It is advisable to change the icon name to differentiate the account you have on each one.

If you want to delete the replicated application, the process is just as simple. You just have to follow the previous route (settings, enter ‘Applications’ and then ‘Parallel Apps’), and turn off the switch of the chosen application. Then a message appears that the data of the duplicate version will disappear, you agree, and you are done.

it Is important to clarify that this feature is in the beta 21 of the OnePlus 3 and 12 for the OnePlus 3Q, and it is not safe to arrive to the stable releases, and if so, when it will be. However, below we leave the link to carry out the process to install the beta (if you want to, of course) if you have not got.
