Where Do Dual Apps Keep Cloned Data on Android?
Where Dual Apps cloners keep cloned app data on Android, and how profiles separate it by user.
Last updated
Dual app cloning runs copies as separate Android users: each clone keeps private storage apart from the original. Vendor features and store cloners share the pattern with different managers on each phone.
Cloned logins need re-entering on new phones regardless of copies. User ids for clones vary per device, so never hardcode them in scripts. Reinstalls without per clone backups wipe clone internals for good.

Clones run as separate user profiles with private storage each. User ids vary per device; never hardcode them. Logins need re-entering.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move cloned apps to a new phone?
Back up cloned app data inside each clone where offered, then reinstall clones on the new phone. Clones live in separate user profiles. System backup misses most clone internals.
System Dual Apps or a store cloner: which do I have?
Dual Apps features ship inside vendor system apps on many phones rather than one store app. Check Settings app cloning entries first. Third party cloners use their own profiles apart.
