How to Play Two Gardenscapes Accounts on the Same Phone

There are many reasons to want a second Gardenscapes on the same phone: a second account, a fresh start, a separate save, or testing without touching your main progress. The key thing to understand from the start is this: there is no single button that works on every device. Each Android brand uses a different app-cloning system, and on many phones the available options change depending on the Android version.

In this guide you will find clear, detailed, and safer methods to create a second Gardenscapes in a way that feels like a second device inside the same device. You will also learn how to avoid the most common confusion: opening the second game and seeing the same account load again.

What “a second Gardenscapes” means in practice

A “second game” means your phone creates a separate installation space where Gardenscapes keeps different data. That is how you can keep separate progress. The game account is usually tied to services like Google Play Games or Facebook, so the correct approach is to create a truly separate app environment.

Before you start, check what phone you have

If you are not sure about your phone’s brand and model, you can find it in your device Settings. The names you will usually see are (“Dual Apps”),(“Parallel Apps”),(“Clone Apps”),(“Second Space”), (“Work Profile”), or (“Secure Folder”).

Method for Samsung: Secure Folder

On many Samsung devices, the most stable way to get a second Gardenscapes is Secure Folder, because it works as a separate app environment.

How to enable Secure Folder

• Open Settings.
• Go to Biometrics and security.
• Find and open Secure Folder from the list or, if you cannot spot it quickly, type “Secure Folder” in the Settings search.
• Finish setup with your Samsung account and a lock method.

How to install a second Gardenscapes inside Secure Folder

• Open Secure Folder.
• Add or open the Play Store inside Secure Folder.
• Sign in with a different Google account (a new Gmail or another existing one) inside Secure Folder.
• Download Gardenscapes from there.
• A separate Gardenscapes icon will appear inside Secure Folder.

On many devices, Secure Folder also creates its own icon that you can move to the home screen; tap it, unlock Secure Folder, and your second game will appear inside. If there is no icon, you can always open it from Settings > Biometrics and security > Secure Folder or by typing “Secure Folder” in the Settings search.

Creating multiple accounts by recreating Secure Folder

Secure Folder works like a second device. If you delete it and create it again, the phone treats it as a new phone and you can sign in with a different Gardenscapes account. This allows you to create multiple separate accounts on the same device.

Steps:

• Install Gardenscapes inside Secure Folder.
• Sign in with one account and play until the progress is saved online (Google Play Games or Facebook).
• Exit the game and confirm the progress loads normally when reopening it.
• Delete Secure Folder from Settings.
• Create Secure Folder again.
• Install Gardenscapes again.
• Now sign in with a different Google or Facebook account.

Each time Secure Folder is recreated, it is treated as a new device, so a completely independent game progress is created.

After each creation, a new Secure Folder will appear in the app drawer; if you create two or more, you will see all of them and you can rename them so you can easily identify which account is inside each folder.

If it does not appear on the home screen, you can always open it from Settings > Biometrics and security > Secure Folder or by searching “Secure Folder” in Settings.

Important: Deleting Secure Folder removes only the local installation. The game account itself is not deleted because it remains saved online and can be connected again at any time.

How to prevent it from loading the same account by mistake

The main rule is that the second Gardenscapes must be connected to a different Google account or a different Facebook account inside that second environment. If you open the second game and it starts from the beginning, that is a good sign it is truly separate.

Method for Xiaomi: Second Space or Dual Apps

On Xiaomi, you will often find two options. Second Space is essentially a second device profile. Dual Apps is cloning individual apps.

Second Space

• Open Settings.
• Go to Special features.
• Select Second Space.
• Inside the second space, download Gardenscapes from the Play Store.

Dual Apps

If Gardenscapes does not appear under Dual Apps, that is normal. On many devices, Dual Apps mostly works for social and messaging apps.

Method for Huawei: App Twin or PrivateSpace

On Huawei, if PrivateSpace or App Twin is available, the logic is similar: create a separate environment and install the game there.

• Search in Settings for App Twin or PrivateSpace.
• If PrivateSpace exists, install Gardenscapes inside it.

Method for OnePlus, OPPO, Realme: Clone Apps or App Cloner

On these brands you will often see “Clone Apps” or “App Cloner”. When games are supported, a second icon is created. If Gardenscapes does not appear in the list, your phone likely allows cloning only for specific apps.

• Open Settings.
• Find Clone Apps, App Cloner, or Parallel Apps.
• Check whether Gardenscapes is available in the list.

A method that works on many Android phones: Work Profile

Work Profile creates a second “work space” on your device with separate apps. This is often the cleanest way to get a second installation when Secure Folder or Second Space is not available.

The core idea is simple: inside the Work Profile you install Gardenscapes again and launch it from there. When Work Profile is active, you will usually see a separate apps tab or a briefcase icon on certain apps.

How to confirm you truly created a second game

To be sure you did not create only a shortcut but a real second installation, look for these signs:

• The second Gardenscapes starts with the tutorial or a clean beginning.
• The second game icon is inside a separate space such as Secure Folder, Second Space, or Work Profile.
• The app settings show a different data storage footprint compared to the main game.

If two installations behave differently or you see different level sequences, that is not a device problem but a normal part of how the game works, and it connects to how levels can differ per player in why two players see different level paths in the same level.

The most common problems and what they mean

• I see a second icon but it opens the same garden: it is not a truly separate environment, or it auto-signed into the same account inside the second space.
• Gardenscapes does not appear in cloning lists: your phone limits cloning to specific apps and often focuses on messenger apps only.
• The second game does not keep progress: you need a proper sign-in inside the second environment so progress saves to that account.

Sources that document these features by ecosystem

Samsung’s support page explains Secure Folder as a protected separate space for apps and data: Samsung Support for Secure Folder.

Android Enterprise documentation describes Work Profile as a separate work environment with separated apps and data: Google Support for Work Profile.

If you tested this on another device or Android version, you can leave a comment with your phone model and whether a true second installation was created; this helps other players see what works on each device without extra steps.

Conclusion

The simplest rule is to focus on a “second environment” rather than just a “second icon”. On Samsung this usually means Secure Folder. On Xiaomi it is often Second Space. On many other devices, Work Profile. If you follow the method that matches your brand, your second Gardenscapes will be clean and stable without touching your main progress.

You can also create a second Gardenscapes account on a PC to keep independent progress in a separate environment.
