How does the "parallel apps" feature work on OnePlus 3 devices, and how can developers use Intents correctly with this feature?

The "Parallel Apps" feature on OnePlus 3 devices allows users to run cloned versions of apps with different accounts and credentials. This means you can have separate instances of apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, etc., for personal and business use1.

To use Intents properly with Parallel Apps, follow these steps:

Enable Parallel Apps: Go to Settings -> Utilities -> Apps -> Parallel Apps. Toggle on the apps you want to clone1.

Use Intents: When working with cloned apps, use explicit Intents to ensure that the correct instance of the app is targeted. Explicit Intents specify the exact component to start by name (i.e., the app's package name and class name)1.

Handle Data Sharing: Ensure that data sharing between the original and cloned app instances is handled correctly. Use shared preferences or external storage to manage data that needs to be accessed by both instances.

By following these steps, you can effectively use Intents with Parallel Apps on your OnePlus 3 device.
