In Multilogin, separate Android cloud phones and browser profiles help you keep every social profile organized and consistent when managing mobile app and web workflows at scale.

➡️ Go to “Profiles” → choose “Mobile” or “Browser” → click “Create” → set up a separate profile and proxy for each social profile.

Use these practices to prevent session conflicts, inconsistent locations, wasted mobile minutes, and automation errors before they disrupt your workflow.

Match the profile type to the task

Choosing the wrong profile type often means rebuilding the setup later because the app, website, or automation tool does not work in the environment you selected.

In Multilogin, Android cloud phones run genuine Android on real cloud-hosted devices. Use them for workflows that happen inside native Android apps. Browser profiles are designed for websites, web dashboards, seller centers, advertising tools, and browser automation.

A simple rule can save you time:

• If the task happens in an Android app, use a cloud phone
• If the task happens on a website, use a browser profile

Give every social profile its own environment

Reusing one cloud phone or browser profile may save a few minutes during setup, but it becomes confusing when sessions, app data, cookies, locations, and client work start overlapping.

• Each Android cloud phone keeps its own app data, login history, account state, network, and location
• Browser profiles provide the same separation for web workflows with their own cookies, sessions, proxy, and storage

Follow the rule: one profile = one social account. 

Keep settings consistent

A stable profile is easier to use and troubleshoot. Choose the core settings during creation, then change one setting at a time if something stops working.

If your social account uses both mobile and web, use the environment that fits each task, but keep the working country or region consistent across both.

Organize team access and handoffs

Set up the workspace so team members can quickly find the right profile, check its status, and continue where the previous person left off.

Match each teammate to the right role:

• Owner: controls subscriptions, profiles, and team access
• Manager: manages profiles, folders, and team members
• Operator: manages assigned folders and profiles
• Starter: starts assigned profiles without changing their settings

Store shared profiles where the team can reach them:

• Android cloud phones: always stored in the cloud
• Browser profiles: choose cloud storage for team or cross-device access – local profiles remain on the computer where they were created

Start only what you need

Keep Multilogin responsive and avoid wasting mobile minutes by running only the profiles needed for your current task.

• Android cloud phones: mobile minutes start when you click “Start” and stop when you click “Stop” – stop each cloud phone when the mobile task is complete
• Browser profiles: every active session uses computer resources – start large batches in smaller groups if profiles become slow or unresponsive

Choose the right automation tool

Choose the tool based on what you need to accomplish:

• Start or stop a batch of profiles: use CLI to manage cloud phones and browser profiles from a script or schedule
• Prepare cloud phones: use ADB to install APKs, transfer files, send device commands, and manage connections
• Repeat actions inside an Android app: use Appium to automate taps, text entry, navigation, signup flows, or app testing
• Complete a ready-made browser task: use Script runner to launch predefined scripts like CookieRobot without building the workflow from scratch
• Manage profiles without opening the dashboard: use the API to create, update, organize, start, and stop profiles
• Automate actions on websites: use Selenium, Puppeteer, or Playwright with a remote WebDriver to open dashboards, complete forms, or collect reports

Test the full workflow on one profile first. Confirm every step works, then add wait times, logs, retries, and error handling before testing a small batch.

Increase the batch size gradually. Apps and websites load at different speeds, and automation requests share workspace limits. A small test helps you catch delays and failed requests before they affect every profile.
