Clone/Multiple App how?

[gigapocket1]

Haven’t been able to find this feature and could’ve sworn it was coming to iOS 17. Looking for the ability to clone or have multiple instances of the same app.

You can have the same app on multiple home pages. Is that what you mean?

Nope. I think you could’ve done that with iOS 16. I thought I could have 2 home assistant apps independent of each other. One signed into different accounts.

I haven't heard anything like that. iPadOS 15 allows multiple instances of an app to be running (if the app supports it), but it still isn't anything like what you're wanting to do. There's no way to give each their own separate container to keep accounts and data separate.

Maybe you're thinking of the Safari profiles that's new in iOS 17?

I guess I heard wrong.. I am familiar with the safari profiles.
I’ve been looking forward to this feature since the keynote. Updated to the beta Tuesday and been trying to figure out how ever since. Oh well. I’ll skim through the keynote again and see if I can find it.
