When you use apps on a device such as an iPhone or Android phone, you may run into a situation where you want to have multiple accounts for the same app. Unfortunately, this can be very hard to do. It usually requires you to uninstall the app and re-install it to switch accounts. Usually these apps don’t have a PC version, which makes it even harder to manage multiple accounts. The people at BlueStacks have written an Android emulator to allow running apps on a PC (they have a MAC version, but it doesn’t support the version of Android required to run most apps), so you will need Windows.
Low FPS Low Usage. CPU: Ryzen 5 3600X OC to 4.2Ghz GPU: GTX 1060 3GB RAM: Crucial Sport 3000Mhz 16GB SSD: WD Black 256GB Boot Drive. With this setup and 1080p in COD Mobile BlueStacks 5 feels very slow and sluggish but when I check system resources it just keeps spiking 1 or 2 cores and barley no GPU usage.

- The multi-instance gaming option in BlueStacks is capable of running more than 2 games at the same time without making your system slow. Be it a 32-bit or 64-bit Android game, BlueStacks lets you play Android games on PC, you can read more at how to play Android games on PC.
To run multiple accounts of an app follow these steps.
Multi Instance Bluestacks Mac Os
- Download and install BlueStacks
- Install the app that you want to duplicate, but do not log in or create an account. If you have already logged into the app, then uninstall the app and re-install it.
- Open Windows Explorer and go to %ProgramData%BlueStacksAndroid you should see a folder called Data.sparsefs
- Rename Data.sparsefs to Data1.sparsefs.
- Make as many copies of Data1.sparsefs as you need copies of your app. Increment the number after Data each time. You should end up with something like this, but without the Data.sparsefs folder.
Download this zip file, open it, and copy LaunchApp.bat to %ProgramData%BlueStacksAndroid
Open the apps folder that BlueStacks installed on your desktop. You should see a shortcut to the app that you installed in BlueStacks.
Right-click on the shortcut and choose “properties”. You should see a window like this:
link properties
You’ll need to edit the text inside the “Target” textbox. you want to keep the last two arguments. Those will tell BlueStacks which app you want to launch. If you were editing the twitter link, then
“C:Program Files (x86)BlueStacksHD-RunApp.exe” Android com.twitter.android com.twitter.android.StartActivity
becomes
%ProgramData%BlueStacksAndroidLaunchApp.bat 1 com.twitter.android com.twitter.android.StartActivity
Notice that the “Android” became a “1”. That “1” will change for each shortcut to match the Data#.sparsefs that you want to link to.
- Make a copy of the shortcut for each copy of Data.sparsefs that you created
- Rename each link with the number that corresponds to the number in your copy of Data.sparsefs
- Edit the target of each link, just like in step 8. Change the “1” to match the number in your copy of Data.sparsefs
You should end up with links like these:
Bluestacks Mac Os X
Now, when you double-click the links, the batch file will link the proper Data#.sparsefs and launch your app. The first time you run each shortcut you will need to set up a new account. After that, you can switch accounts just by launching the shortcut.
