Playing Clash of Clans is an exciting hobby that people from different ages enjoy. It is extra exciting when you can switch between different accounts and experience new challenges.

But, what if we tell you there is a way to use multiple CoC accounts on Android without switching repeatedly? Keep reading to find out more.
Video Tutorial:
What’s Needed
Before we dive into the different methods to use multiple CoC accounts on Android, there are a few requirements that you should have:
- An Android device with version 4.1 or higher
- A stable internet connection
- A Clash of Clans account(s)
- A Google Play account(s)
- A cloning app(s) (the ones mentioned in this article will be App Cloner and Parallel Space)
What Requires Your Focus?
Switching between multiple accounts while playing the game can be a nuisance. But, using a cloning app to create multiple instances of the Clash of Clans app on the same device will allow you to play all your CoC accounts simultaneously without any fuss. The only difference between this and logging in and out of accounts is that you’ll be able to use all accounts simultaneously without having to lose your progress and starting over.
Different Methods to Use Multiple CoC Accounts on Android
Method 1: Using Parallel Space
Parallel Space is an app that allows multiple instances of an app to be installed on the same device. It is the easiest and most used way of using multiple CoC accounts on Android devices. Follow these steps:
- Download and install Parallel Space from Google Play Store.
- After installation, open the Parallel Space app and grant it the necessary permissions.
- Tap on the “+” sign to add an app.
- Select Clash of Clans from the list of available apps and press ‘Add to Parallel Space.’
- Wait while Parallel Space duplicates the app in its virtual space.
- Once the app has been successfully cloned, log in to your CoC account(s) and start playing.
Pros:
- Easy setup and installation
- No need to root your device or perform any complex actions
- Supports more than one clone per app
Cons:
- Parallel Space may occupy too much space on your device, especially if you use it to clone many applications.
- It may affect the performance of your device if you have an older device.
Method 2: Using App Cloner
App Cloner is a similar app to Parallel Space that allows you to duplicate the same app multiple times on the same device. To use multiple CoC accounts on Android, follow these steps:
- Download and install App Cloner from Google Play Store.
- Open App Cloner and choose Clash of Clans from the list of apps.
- Customize the cloned app by selecting an icon, name, and other settings.
- Press the ‘Create App’ button to clone the application.
- Wait for the cloning process to complete.
- Install the cloned app once the cloning process has finished.
- Log in to another CoC account and start playing.
Pros:
- Provides an extensive array of customization options, including changing the app icon and name
- Allows the creation of more than one clone per app
- Enables the use of modified versions of the app for free
Cons:
- Users who lack technical knowledge may find the setup process arduous
- App Cloner may violate the terms of service of some applications.
- You may need to purchase the premium version of App Cloner to access its full range of features.
Method 3: Using Island
Island is another app that helps you to use multiple CoC accounts on Android. The app, developed by Oasis Feng, works by isolating applications that have been cloned in a virtual sandbox. Here are the steps to use Island:
- Download and install Island from Google Play Store.
- Synchronize the cloned app to Island.
- Open the Island app and proceed to the sandboxed profile section.
- Start configuring the cloned apps that you’d like to use with the Island.
- After that, log in to your CoC account(s) and enjoy playing.
Pros:
- Highly secure, thanks to the isolated virtual sandboxing
- Enables snapshot mode, which enables the creation of app backups
- Permits users to customize the app’s name and icon
Cons:
- Island may be complex for those who lack technical expertise.
- Users of older devices may find Island to be a power-hungry application.
Why Can’t I Use Multiple CoC Accounts on Android?
Clash of Clans only enables one account per device. Therefore, if you want to play with multiple accounts, the only way to do so is by creating a second device or using one of the previously mentioned application cloning options. Here are a few reasons why having one account per device is the norm:
1. Maintaining Accounts
It could harm the fair competition of the game when a single user has multiple accounts, and they only use one device to accomplish this. It’s simpler to monitor accounts when they’re associated with specific devices.
2. Performance issues
Multiple accounts running on a single device can decrease device performance. The Clash of Clans game runs best on high-end devices, and adding more accounts can hinder its functionality.
3. Cheating
With the option of multiple accounts, it becomes possible to cheat the game by favoring one account over the other or duplicating resources from one account to another.
Fixes:
First, the issue of fraud cannot be wholly prevented, but we can reduce it by monitoring multi-accounting. Second, limit the number of devices that a user might use to play. In this manner, the game administrators can monitor accounts more effectively. Thirdly, if users still want to play with multiple accounts, consider performing it with the aforementioned application cloning options.
Implications and Recommendations
At this point, you now know how to use multiple CoC accounts on your Android device, and you should safely go ahead and set them up. However, before we conclude, let’s take a closer look at the implications and recommendations.
- Go through each cloning app’s settings before using them to clone your applications, as they may have different configurations and features.
- Having multiple accounts on a single device could harm the device’s overall performance.
- Multiple accounts running simultaneously can use up your phone’s battery more quickly.
- Lastly, make sure that you add passwords, fingerprints, or any other form of security to the cloned CoC app.
