Think of each Android cloud phone as a dedicated device for one social profile. It runs genuine Android on a real cloud-hosted device, keeping app data, login history, and account state separate from your other profiles.

➡️ Go to “Profiles” → “Mobile” → click “Create”. Add a profile name, choose and check a public proxy, review the device and extra settings, then click “Create”.

A proxy is required. Creating the cloud phone does not use mobile minutes; minute usage starts when you click “Start”.

Creating a cloud phone is fast and simple:

1. Go to the “Profiles” tab in the top menu
2. Select “Mobile” from the left-side selector
3. Click “Create”, or use the dropdown next to it to create phones in bulk

Most settings come pre-filled, so you don’t need to worry about them. Simply name the phone, check the proxy, and click “Create”. Let’s walk through each section you’ll see when creating a cloud phone.

General settings

Profile name

Good news: only you (and your team, if shared) can see your phone names – websites or apps can’t. So feel free to name them whatever helps you stay organized! Here are some quick tips:

• Be specific: include the platform or purpose (e.g., “FB_Ad_Team1” or “Amazon_Seller_UK”)
• Keep it short & readable: 2–4 words max (e.g., “LinkedIn_LeadGen_Alice”)
• Follow a naming rule (if in a team): so everyone stays in sync and finds what they need faster

Number of profiles

You can create one or multiple cloud phones in a single setup. When creating multiple phones at once, Multilogin will generate clones of the same phone.

Important to know:

• All cloned phones will have exactly the same settings – including device configuration, proxy setup, network type, tags, and notes (if added)
• You can create up to 100 phones at once 
• Your plan limit still applies (if your plan allows 10 profiles, you can only create 10; if your plan allows 300 profiles, you can still only create 100 in one batch)

After creation, you can edit each phone individually.

Use case

Choose an app for the phone to make the profile easier to recognize in the list. With a huge app library, you can quickly match each phone to its purpose.

Tags

Add up to 10 color-coded tags per phone, making it super easy to group, filter, and find what you need – fast. Use them for clients, workflows, or anything else that fits your setup.

Tags are workspace-based and shared between browser profiles and cloud phones. If you create a tag in the mobile section, it will also be available for browser profiles – and vice versa.

Why use tags?

• Find phones quickly with tag-based filtering
• Keep things tidy with reusable, workspace-wide labels

➡️ Check out the full guide to start tagging like a pro.

Note

The notes feature lets you add short comments to individual phones or entire folders. It’s perfect for reminders, status updates, or sharing quick context with your team (max 1500 characters). 

Folder

Organize phones into custom folders – perfect for sorting by client, project, or status. Add notes, drag and drop phones, and keep your dashboard clutter-free.

Browser profiles and cloud phones use separate folder systems. That means:

• Cloud phones can only be placed in phone folders
• Browser profiles can only be placed in browser folders
• Folders are not shared or synced between the two types

➡️ Check the full guide to get organized in just a few clicks.

Proxy settings

Every Android cloud phone needs a public proxy to connect to the internet. Local addresses such as 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.x.x won’t work because the phone runs on a remote server.

Choose a location that fits the social profile’s intended country or region. Whichever option you use, click “Check proxy” before creating the cloud phone.

Why device info may show the old location

The “Device info” location displayed in the profile list is based on the proxy used when the cloud phone was created.

Changing the proxy later doesn’t update the displayed device location, but the new connection still works normally. This is only a display difference.

 

Device info

OS version

This is the Android version your phone runs on (Android 10–16). 

What to choose:

• Android 14–16 → best for modern apps and ads
• Older versions → only if a specific app needs it

Device brand

This setting defines the manufacturer of the phone (for example, Samsung, Google, Oppo). 

What to choose:

• Random (default): Multilogin picks a popular brand for you
• Custom: manually select a brand

Device model 

This setting defines the exact phone model (for example, Galaxy S22, Pixel 6).

What to choose:

• Random (default): Multilogin selects a matching model automatically
• Custom: manually choose a model from the selected brand

Available device brands and models

The list of available device brands and models depends on the Android version you choose.

Models in the table below are sorted from strongest to weakest for each brand. Need more power for heavy tasks? Pick a model closer to the start of the list.

Extra

Network

The network type defines how your cloud phone connects to the internet and how it appears to apps and websites.

	Wi-Fi	Cellular (Android 12 and higher)
When to use it	When using residential, ISP, or static proxies	When using mobile or rotating proxies
How the phone behaves	Phone appears connected to a Wi-Fi network, no mobile signal shown	Phone shows SIM and mobile signal (LTE/5G), behaves like real mobile data
Best for	Regular account management, stable long sessions, app testing	Social media apps, mobile ads, apps that expect carrier signals

Phone number

Cloud phones can’t send or receive SMS codes or phone calls. 

Choose what works best for you:

• Auto-generated number: use this if you’re working with existing accounts or you don’t need verification
• Custom number: enter a real or virtual number from a provider – you'll get the code on your real phone or in your provider dashboard

Location

Set where the device is originally from: use the proxy IP or choose a country from the list.

For example, your device can be from Singapore while your connection appears in London. This gives you more flexibility when setting up profiles.
