For Android phones

Two accounts on the same network. One phone. No logging out.

Your personal Instagram and the brand’s, or two LinkedIn pages, on the Android phone you already carry. CommunityGlows gives each account its own profile, and every network inside it its own sign-in. Switching account becomes two taps, not a logout.

Get started

Up and running in three steps

  1. 01

    Download the APK

    CommunityGlows for Android is an APK from our download page, not from Google Play. Download it only there, never from a mirror. It runs on Android 7.0 or later, on 64-bit ARM phones.

    Go to the download page
  2. 02

    Allow the install, then sign in

    Open the file and let your browser or file manager install unknown apps, for that app only. Open CommunityGlows, choose your language, then create your account or sign in.

  3. 03

    One profile per account

    Tap the profile card at the bottom of the home screen and choose New profile for each account, such as “Personal” and “Studio”. Open a network in each one and sign in there.

Sounds familiar?

One phone, several accounts, and a lot of logging out

Log out, log in, repeat

Post for the brand, log out. Reply to your family, log in again. Another password, another two-factor code, while you only had a minute on the bus.

The wrong account, one tap away

Both accounts look alike on a small screen. One story or one comment from the personal account instead of the work one, and the evening is spent cleaning up.

Workarounds that do not hold

A private tab that forgets you, a second browser just for work, an old phone kept in a drawer for the brand: every workaround costs a sign-in or a device.

How it works on Android

One profile per account, each network signed in on its own

Create a profile for each account, for example “Personal” and “Studio”, and add the networks each one uses. On Android, CommunityGlows gives every profile-and-network pair its own native WebView profile, so both accounts stay signed in on the same phone.

Two accounts, two sessions

Instagram in “Personal” and Instagram in “Studio” do not share cookies or storage. Sign in once in each profile; the other account does not appear there. On some devices a fallback mode applies, with less coverage, and we say so.

How the Android isolation works

Switch account in two taps

One network fills the screen, with your profile’s networks in a bar at the bottom. Tap the Home button, pick the other profile, and the same network reopens in that profile’s session. Check the avatar, then post.

A calmer phone

From the same menu: grayscale, mute the page’s sound and video, dark mode, and one text size for every network. By default, pages you have not opened for 15 minutes are unloaded from memory.

Several accounts, one Android phone
A day with two accounts

Personal and work on the same phone, without a single logout

  1. 01On the bus

    Open Instagram in your “Personal” profile and answer a few friends. Your work account is nowhere in sight.

  2. 02Mid-morning

    The brand needs a story. Tap Home, choose “Studio”: Instagram reopens signed in as the brand. You check the avatar, then you post.

  3. 03Lunch break

    Still in “Studio”, switch to LinkedIn from the bottom bar to reply to a message, with grayscale on so the feed stays quiet.

  4. 04Evening

    Back to “Personal” in two taps. The brand stays signed in for tomorrow, in its own profile, on this phone only.

Before you install

Your questions about Android, answered plainly

It is not on Google Play. Is the APK safe to install?

CommunityGlows for Android is distributed as an APK from our download page, not through Google Play. Download it only from that page, never from a mirror or a file someone forwards to you. Android will ask you to allow the browser or file app you used to install apps; allow it for that app only, install, then you can switch that permission off again.

Install steps in the Android guide
What is the fallback mode, and will my phone use it?

When your phone’s Android System WebView supports separate profiles, each profile-and-network pair gets its own native profile. On some devices it does not; CommunityGlows then uses a single WebView and saves and restores each session’s cookies and local storage when you switch. That mode is slower and covers less (not IndexedDB, caches or service workers). Shortly after you open a network, the debug logs you can copy from the Home menu include a line naming the mode your phone uses.

What the fallback covers
What about battery and memory?

Every open network is a real web page, so it costs memory and some battery, usually less than a Chrome tab: Android WebView runs all of the app’s pages in one shared process, whereas Chrome keeps its tabs more separate. On a phone, only one network is on screen at a time and hidden pages are paused. By default, pages you have not opened for 15 minutes are unloaded and reload when you come back. We have not published battery measurements: keep only the networks you use in each profile.

Why open networks use memory
Is it the same licence as on Windows?

Yes. Your trial and your lifetime access belong to your CommunityGlows account, not to a device: sign in with the same account on Windows and Android. The trial lasts 30 days without a card, then lifetime access is €149 incl. VAT, paid once. On Android, the purchase opens Stripe checkout in your browser.

See pricing
Will my sign-ins follow me from my phone to my PC?

No. Social sign-ins stay on the device where you created them, by design. With lifetime access (not during the trial), your profiles and settings can sync between Windows and Android after you review them, but you sign in to each network again on each device.

What stays local and what syncs
Can I put both accounts in the same profile?

No: two copies of the same network inside one profile share that profile’s session. Use one profile per account. And isolation is not anonymity: each network still sees your accounts and applies its own rules, so check the active account before you post.
