a lot of of the Games, Social Networking apps, and Texting apps allow only one user account per app. but there might be situations where you might need to have two different accounts but in buy to achieve that you will have to log out of one account and log into the other. Some apps like Twitter, Google+ already support multiple user accounts and only time will tell how long will it take for others to add this functionality. Also, Android’s built-in multi-user functionality (at OS level) still leaves something to be desired for and has a long way to go. but thankfully, there a few apps that allow you to manage multiple user accounts for a certain app without having to log-out/log-in every time.

App Cloner
App Cloner takes a slightly different technique in managing multiple users accounts of an app. With app Cloner, you can select the app for which you want to have multiple accounts and the app Cloner will create a clone of that particular app. then you can install it side by side with your existing original app without any issues. It’s like running two instances of the same app side by side. There are multiple options such as: changing the name of the cloned app, customizing the look of the icon of the cloned app, adding password protection for the cloned app, etc. The major drawback with this app is that it does not support popular IM platforms like WhatsApp, Viber, etc.
