What Android profiles are for

Mobile Android profiles in Multilogin let you mimic the behavior of an Android browser. Instead of looking like a desktop user, you appear as someone browsing from a smartphone. This is key when you need to interact with mobile-optimized sites or apps.

What are the limitations

• You can’t convert a desktop profile to Android – mobile profiles must be created from scratch
• You can’t install apps – these aren’t full Android devices, just mobile-style browser environments

Why Android profiles are useful

• Blend in like a mobile user: great for sites that serve different content on mobile
• Manage accounts safely: stay under the radar on platforms like Reddit, Instagram, or TikTok
• Test mobile experiences: see exactly how a page looks and behaves on Android

How Android profiles work

• Android OS emulation: emulate key mobile traits – touch inputs, screen size, and network behavior
• Custom User-Agent & screen size: adjust User-Agents, viewports, and resolutions to match real Android devices
• Fingerprint masking: automatically apply Android-style fingerprints to keep you under the radar

How to use Android profiles

• Click “New profile” or “Quick profile”
• In “Advanced mode”, set the OS to Android

Recommended settings for Android profiles

Some settings are restricted to keep mobile profiles stable. These can’t be set to “Real” and should follow these best-practice values. These defaults help ensure reliability and low detectability for mobile workflows.
