Mobile profiles are basically virtual Android phones inside Multilogin. They act just like real devices, which means apps and websites see them as such.

Why bother with them? Well, they're handy when you're:

• Working with apps designed for mobile users
• Managing social media or ad accounts

When you start a mobile profile, it presents a live phone screen. A menu appears on the right, offering tools to manage the device and your tasks. Here's a brief overview of those tools:

• Timer: tracks the duration the mobile profile has been active – use it to keep tabs on your expenses, as with mobile profiles, you pay per minute
• Rotate: changes the screen's orientation from portrait to landscape and vice versa – handy for apps or games that function better sideways
• Screenshot: grabs a picture of what's on your screen and saves it to the profile's memory
• Upload: lets you transfer files to your phone – helpful for uploading creative materials, content, or media assets
• Export: lets you download files (not folders) from your phone – this is useful when you need to move files back to your computer
• Camera: functions like a real phone camera – you can use it for scanning or verification
• Apps: here you can install, update, and uninstall apps using your proxy traffic – learn more in How to install apps on mobile profiles
