We can clone apps in Android to have multiple accounts/sessions logged in on a single service in your device. There are many ways to do this and today we are going to show you a easy way to clone apps in Android. Just follow our guide to Stay Logged into Multiple Accounts on Android.

How To Stay Logged into Multiple Accounts on Android

All we are going to need is a single app from Google Play Store. It is free and it will let you clone any app to let you install them multiple times. This way, you can have multiple accounts and sessions as you like any time.

  • Open the app once its installed. During first launch, it will show you several tips, just press next through them and get inside.
  • Once you are in, you will see a list of all the installed applications in the first tab of the app.
  • Just press any app that you would like to clone.
  • In the next screen, you can set options like app icon colours, badges and other features as per your needs.
  • After everything's set, press the Tick button next to the app icon at the top.
  • The cloning process will start and it will take about a minute to complete.
  • Once it's done, you can install the app.
  • Then you will find it in the app drawer itself where you can launch it whenever you want.
  • That's it.
Note: The cloned apps can be shared with others and uninstalled in the "Cloned Apps" tab in the app. Kindly note that this app won't be able to clone WhatsApp properly and you can only have one clone per app. For more than that, you will need the premium version.

That is all from us here. Hope you found this simple trick helpful. Drop your comment below if you liked it and Thanks for reading!

Sony Xperia XA1


After the announcement of a new range of smartphones in the MWC 2017 in Barcelona, Sony has launched their mid-range Xperia XA1. They have made it available on all major Sony outlets across the country at Rs. 19,990.

The phone was announced at the MWC event with its sibling Xperia XA1 Ultra. XA1 Ultra is expected to be released soon. But the company's new flagship device, the Xperia XZ is also going on sale on the same day which is today.

Getting back to the Xperia XA1, it is a mid-range Android smartphone with an all plastic body and an aluminium frame at the edges. It has a 5 inch HD (1280 x 720p) display protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass in the front. It has ~294 ppi pixel density and a screen to body ratio of ~70.9%. On the right side, the phone still has the Sony's signature round power button and a dedicated camera shutter key too. There is no fingerprint sensor though, which is really common in this price range.



Other specifications include a 2.3 GHz octa-core MediaTek Helio P20 MT6757 processor paired with a 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory. It can further be expanded with a microSD. The Xperia XA1 also has a 23 MP f/2.0 aperture rear camera with phase detection and laser autofocus and LED flash while there is a 8 MP wide-angle front facing camera. Both cameras are capable of recording 1080p videos. The phone supports 4G LTE with VoLTE and has dual-SIM support with all regular connectivity options.

The USB found on XA1 is USB Type-C. The phone runs Android Nougat out of the box. It has a 2300 mAh non-removable battery with fast charging support. Sony has put their own charging technology here, what they call adaptive charging. The phone uses intelligent charging to prevent battery decline by learning your charging patterns and adapting to them. They claim that this allows them to offer up to twice the battery lifespan. Sony bundles Quick Charger UCH-12 with the phone in the box.

The Sony Xperia XA1is available in White, Black and Pink colours at Rs. 19,990. The smartphone is pretty thin at just 8 mm and it weighs 143g. So what do you think about this new addition from Sony? It sure looks like it lacks a few things but do you think Sony can make it up with other things it has here? Share your thoughts below.

Samsung, Sony, LG fetch the Top 3 India's Most Trusted Brand Rankings



The 2017's Brand Trust Report has been released and it shows the top 3 most trusted brands in India. The South  Korea-based Samsung comes out on top fetching the title of India's Most Trusted Brand. Following them is the Japanese electronics giant Sony and South Korean LG.

The Brand Trust Report 2017

The Brand Trust Report is a study to measure people's trust in brands all over the nation. It is released annually by Comniscient Group's TRA Research. The group's CEO N. Chandramouli said, “Trust is transaction personified and the rigor of TRA’s Brand Trust annual study has always displayed prescience through its data. The 17-rank climb of the Consumer Electronic brand Samsung to top position and the 12-rank climb of Apple to fourth rank over last year are significant. Among the top ten this year, four brands have gained ranks, five brands have retained their last year’s ranks, and one brand has fallen in rank. Of the 2016 list, four brands slipped out of the top ten list of 2017, namely Samsung Mobiles, Nokia, Godrej, and ICICI Bank.”

Samsung at the Top

Coming back to the rankings, Samsung's current top spot is an astounding feat if we look at where the company was last year. They were at the 18th spot in 2016, so now they have climbed 17 ranks to reach the first spot. This is the whole Samsung Electronics we are referring to. Samsung Mobiles is different and they were the most trusted mobile phone brand in India

Surprisingly, the current leader in mobile phone rank table is Nokia who is yet to enter the Indian market after HMD's acquisition.


Sony, LG and others

Consumer electronics brands Sony and LG now hold the second and third ranks in the index. They are also their last year's rank and it remains unchanged this year. Apple is the fourth most trusted brand in India, climbing 12 ranks from where they were last year. This is the first time that Apple makes it to the top 5.

The fifth rank is Tata's again who is also the most trusted Indian brand in India. The sixth spot is claimed by Honda, 7th by Maruti Suzuki and then the Dell and Lenovo possess 8th and 9th ranks. The Chinese Lenovo has climbed 18 ranks from where it was in 2016. The tenth rank has been claimed by another Indian brand, Bajaj. out of the top ten most trusted brands in India, only 3 brands are Indian (if you also take Maruti Suzuki into account.)



Airtel is at the 16th spot overall but number one when only the telecom industry is considered while the Reliance Jio is second most trusted in the telecom industry. Also, MTS is the least trusted mobile service provider in India according to the report.

The Brand Trust Report of 2017 is the seventh report made by the TRA Research. It consists of over 11,000 unique brands from which top 1000 brands have been chosen and listed. You can view the whole list, categorised in their website. We've mentioned the sources below.
