Cloud Phone App

If you need to pre-install cloud phone apps, add them here. They will then be installed automatically on each newly created cloud phone, eliminating repeated downloads and improving operational efficiency.

1. Add Application

Add from App Store: Go to 【Apps】 in the left navigation bar and select 【Cloud Phone Apps】. Click 【Add Application】 in the upper-right corner and choose 【App Store】 as the adding method. Using TikTok as an example, you can quickly locate the target app with the filters and search tools:

  • Application category filter: Ten application categories are available. Select a category as needed to quickly narrow the results and locate the target app.

  • Model filter: Select a model to show apps compatible with that model for targeted installation.

  • Search box: Enter app keywords to perform a fuzzy search.

2. Add via Installation Package: Click 【Extensions & Apps】 in the left navigation bar, open 【Cloud Phone Apps】, click 【Add Application】 in the upper-right corner, and select 【Installation Package】 as the adding method. Follow the steps shown below:

2. Disable/Enable an Application

1. Enable the App: After the app is enabled, every cloud phone within its installation scope will install it. To change the installation scope, click 【Configure Scope】.

2. Disable the App: After the app is disabled, cloud phones that have not installed it will no longer install it.

3. Update Application

Switch an added cloud phone app to a target version and deploy it to the relevant cloud phones. The selected version will take effect the next time the cloud phone starts.

Steps

  1. Click 【Apps】 in the left navigation bar and switch to the 【Cloud Phone Apps】 tab.

  2. Find the target app card and click the “⋮” More button in the upper-right corner of the card.

  3. Select 【Update App】 from the drop-down menu to open the Update App window.

  4. View the app’s current version, then select the version you want from the 【Target Version】 drop-down list.

  5. Read the notice: cloud phones within the installation scope will install the selected version the next time they start. Existing apps will be overwritten or skipped according to the 【Installation Settings】.

  6. After confirming the version information, click 【Confirm】 to submit the update task. To abandon the operation, click 【Cancel】.

Important Notes

  • The version change does not take effect immediately. The version will be replaced only after the relevant cloud phone restarts.

  • The execution logic is controlled by the app’s configured 【Installation Settings】. You can choose to overwrite the existing app or skip the installation.

  • Only historical versions available on the platform are displayed. Some apps may have limited selectable versions.

  • The update follows the app’s configured 【Installation Scope】 and is deployed only to the specified cloud phones.

4. Installation Scope

Specify the cloud phones that should receive and install the app. You can select all cloud phones or assign the app precisely by group for targeted deployment.

Steps

  1. Click 【Apps】 in the left navigation bar and switch to the 【Cloud Phone Apps】 tab.

  2. Find the target app card and click the “⋮” More button in its upper-right corner.

  3. Select 【Installation Scope】 from the drop-down menu to open the scope configuration window.

  4. Select an installation scope type:

    • All Cloud Phones: The app will be deployed to every cloud phone in the team.

    • By Group: The app will be deployed only to cloud phones in the selected groups. Choose the required groups from the drop-down list.

  5. After confirming the selected groups, click 【Confirm】 to save the configuration. Click 【Cancel】 to discard the changes.

Important Notes

  • The configuration takes effect when the cloud phone starts next time, at which point the app installation is performed.

  • Subsequent app updates and deployments follow the currently configured installation scope.

  • Multiple groups can be selected as installation targets at the same time.

  • Groups must be created in the 【Groups】 module before they can be selected from the drop-down list.

5. Installation Settings

Feature Description

Installation Settings determine how subsequent batch installation tasks are handled when the target cloud phone already has the app installed. Two modes are available—【Overwrite】 and 【Skip】—to prevent duplicate installation and unintended version downgrades.

Note: Android 11 does not support downgrading an app to an earlier version, so overwrite-based downgrades cannot be used in this scenario.

Steps

  • Open the MoreLogin console, click 【Apps】 in the left menu, and switch to the 【Cloud Phone Apps】 tab.

  • On the target app card (for example, Facebook), click “⋮” in the lower-right corner.

  • Select 【Installation Settings】 from the drop-down menu to open the configuration window.

  • Select an execution strategy:

    • Skip (default): If the app already exists on the cloud phone, this installation is skipped and no changes are made. This is suitable when you want to keep the existing app and its current version.

    • Overwrite: If the app already exists on the cloud phone, install the new version over it.

  • After confirming your choice, click 【Confirm】 in the lower-right corner. The setting takes effect immediately.

6. Revoke App Permissions

Feature Description

This feature revokes all permissions for an app on a cloud phone in one operation, including location permission. It is mainly used when a deployed app needs to request permissions again or when you want to clear its old permissions and repeat the authorization process.

Steps

  1. Open the MoreLogin console, click 【Apps】 in the left menu, and switch to the 【Cloud Phone Apps】 tab.

  2. On the target app card (for example, Facebook), click “⋮” in the lower-right corner to expand the action menu.

  3. Select 【Revoke App Permissions】 from the drop-down menu.

  4. A confirmation window appears with this notice: “All permissions for Facebook (including location permission) will be revoked. This applies only to newly installed apps. To change permissions for an app that is already installed, configure them manually on the cloud phone.”

  5. After confirming the information, click 【Confirm】 in the lower-right corner to proceed. To cancel, click 【Cancel】.

7. App Keep-Alive

Feature Overview

App Keep-Alive keeps a specified app running in the background of a cloud phone so the system does not automatically reclaim resources or terminate its process. It is suitable for scenarios that require receiving messages online, keeping accounts online, or continuous unattended operation, such as WhatsApp and Facebook accounts.

⚠️ Limitations: Only cloud phone models running Android 12 or later are supported. Each cloud phone can keep up to three apps alive at the same time. The setting takes effect immediately after it is enabled.

Steps

  1. Click 【Apps】 in the left navigation bar and switch to the 【Cloud Phone Apps】 tab.

  2. Find the target app in the app list and click “⋮” on the right side of its app card.

  3. Select 【Enable App Keep-Alive】 from the drop-down menu.

  4. The window displays the feature description and limitations. After checking the information, click 【Confirm】 to enable it.

  5. To disable it, click the “⋮” menu again and select 【Disable App Keep-Alive】.

Important Notes

  1. Keep-alive does not guarantee that an app will remain online 100% of the time. Some apps have their own heartbeat policies or platform-side logout mechanisms.

  2. When the three-app keep-alive limit has been reached, disable keep-alive for an existing app before adding another one.

  3. When an app is removed, its keep-alive configuration is also cleared. If you add the app again, keep-alive must be enabled again.

  4. Keep-alive only maintains the app process and does not incur a separate additional fee. However, resident apps consume cloud phone CPU and memory resources, and enabling too many may cause lag.

8. App Hiding

Feature Overview

App Hiding allows a specified app to remain visible in the cloud phone’s desktop app list and run normally, while preventing other apps from detecting that it is running in the phone system.

⚠️ Limitations: Only cloud phone models running Android 12 or later are supported. After it is enabled, the setting takes effect the next time the cloud phone starts.

Steps

  1. Click 【Apps】 in the left navigation bar and switch to the 【Cloud Phone Apps】 tab.

  2. Find the target app in the app list and click “⋮” on the right side of its app card.

  3. Select 【Enable App Hiding】 from the drop-down menu.

  4. The window asks, “Enable App Hiding for xxx? Only Android 12 and later models are supported. The setting takes effect immediately.” After checking the information, click 【Confirm】 to enable it.

  5. To disable it, click the “⋮” menu again and select 【Disable App Hiding】.

9. Enable/Disable ROOT

Feature Overview

The ROOT permission feature grants a specified app the highest level of Android system permissions. It supports advanced operations such as low-level file reading and writing, system information access, automation scripts, and device debugging, and is commonly used with AutoX.js, scripting tools, and debugging tools.

⚠️ Important Risk Notice: Enabling ROOT permissions significantly increases the likelihood that the app will be detected by a platform and that the account will be restricted or banned. Assess the risks carefully before using this feature.

Steps

  1. Click 【Apps】 in the left navigation bar and switch to the 【Cloud Phone Apps】 tab.

  2. Find the target app in the app list and click “⋮” on the right side of its app card.

  3. Select 【Enable ROOT】 from the drop-down menu.

  4. After ROOT is enabled successfully, a ROOT icon appears on the card. Hovering over it displays: “ROOT has been enabled for this app.”

  5. To revoke the permission, open the “⋮” menu again and select 【Disable ROOT】.

10. Batch Operations

Feature Overview

Batch Operations apply the same action to the selected cloud phone app across multiple cloud phones, avoiding the need to open and handle each cloud phone individually. This is suitable for large-scale account and app management.

⚠️ Prerequisite: Start the relevant cloud phones before running a batch operation. Batch start, close, restart, and uninstall operations are supported.

Steps

  1. Click 【Apps】 in the left navigation bar and switch to the 【Cloud Phone Apps】 tab.

  2. Find the target app in the app list and click “⋮” on the right side of its app card.

  3. Select 【Batch Operations】 from the drop-down menu to open the Batch Operations window.

  4. The window displays “Please start the cloud phones before performing a batch operation.” Confirm that the relevant cloud phones are running.

  5. Select an action from the 【Operation Type】 drop-down list:

    • Start App: Start the app on all relevant cloud phones.

    • Close App: Close the app on all relevant cloud phones.

    • Restart App: Restart the app on all relevant cloud phones.

    • Uninstall App: Uninstall the app from all relevant cloud phones.

  6. To limit the scope, select 【Only operate cloud phones started by me】. This applies only to cloud phones that you started.

  7. Click 【Confirm】 to execute the batch operation.

11. Remove Application

If you no longer need an app to be pre-installed, you can remove the app.

Note: After the app is removed, cloud phones that have not installed it will no longer install it. The app will not be removed from cloud phones where it is already installed.
