Apple has made many changes on IOS and one of the changes is that now the users can duplicate or clone their apps on iPhone. Cloning an app on iPhone means duplicating it so its icon shows multiple times on your screen.
Steps to Duplicate Apps on iPhone
If you want to duplicate the apps on iPhone, proceed with the below mentioned steps:
- Go to the App Library by swiping right on the screen of the iPhone.
- Find the app that you want to clone on the iPhone.
- Long press the app and drag it to the other screen and then drop it there.
- Repeat the steps as many times as you want to clone the app,
Clone Apps on iPhone Using Third-Party Apps
There are several third party apps on the iPhone that let you clone and duplicate your apps. If you are enabled to clone the apps using App Library, using a third-party app is also a good option. Some of the apps used for cloning include:
- AppDuplicator
- Dual Space
- Parallel Space
You can download the apps for cloning from the App Store. After installing them on your iPhone, follow the instructions given to enable app mirroring.
What is the Purpose of Parallel Apps on iPhone?
The reason behind Apple’s feature of duplicating apps is that it acts as Focus Mode. Apple has a Focus Mode that enables your Work apps and hides other apps when you turn on the app. Similarly, when it is turned off, you only see apps that are not related to work.
But there are also some other apps that you use for work but they don’t fall in the work category. That’s when the need to clone apps arises and you duplicate the app so your iPhone doesn’t hide it when you enable Focus Mode.
