Features
Read full description

XBrowser is a browser built for people who need more than one login, especially dual whatsapp, dual instagram, dual telegram... MULTIPLE MESSAGER ACCOUNTS Run separate web sessions for WhatsApp Web, Instagram, Telegram, and Facebook—each in its own account so cookies and logins don’t mix. Switch identities in one tap, or open Split View to see two accounts at once. SHOPS & WORK Manage different storefronts or seller accounts without shared sessions. Keep a dedicated work identity for email and docs—history and home stay with that account too. WHAT STAYS SEPARATE • Cookies and website data • Browsing history • Bookmarks • Home shortcuts • Passwords saved while using that account SHARED ACROSS THE APP Downloads and Reading List are shared. Most Settings (search engine, themes, filters) apply to the whole app. HOW IT WORKS Create accounts for WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, Facebook, Shop, or Work. Each account is its own browsing identity. Use the account chip to switch instantly. NOTES • Uses each site’s web version inside XBrowser. Features may differ from the official apps. • Optional location controls only affect browser geolocation APIs—they do not change your network IP. • Tracker blocking, app lock, and clear-on-exit are also available. One browser. Multiple identities. No mixed logins.
