Understanding Android profiles

What are mobile profiles?

Mobile profiles in Multilogin X are browser profiles that simulate an Android device. Instead of appearing as a desktop user, you’ll look like someone browsing from a smartphone, making them ideal for activities where mobile-like behavior is required.

Why use mobile profiles?

They’re perfect for testing, managing accounts, or automating tasks that require a mobile device’s fingerprint. Mobile profiles help you blend in as a mobile user and interact with websites designed for smartphones.

Can I convert an existing desktop profile to a mobile profile?

No, mobile profiles must be created as new profiles. They cannot be converted from desktop profiles.

Can I install mobile apps on mobile profiles?

No, Android profiles in Multilogin do not function as actual mobile devices, so installing mobile applications is not supported.
