1. Using Dual Messenger

Samsung phones include a built-in feature known as Dual Messenger, which facilitates the duplication of certain apps, notably messaging apps like WhatsApp. Here’s how you can enable Dual Messenger:

2. Using Third-Party Applications

In addition to Samsung's built-in features, you can also use third-party applications to duplicate apps on your Samsung phone. One such application that I recommend is Parallel App. Here's a simple guide on how to use it:

Parallel App is extremely user-friendly. It takes just a few seconds to duplicate an app, and the basic version of Parallel App is free to use. However, if you're looking for more advanced features, the app provides premium services for purchase. One notable premium feature is "Private Space," which allows you to lock applications and keep them private.

Duplicating apps on Samsung phones is a great way to enhance your device's functionality. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily activate this feature and start using duplicated apps according to your needs.
