How to clone app? Without Work Profile

SO I read like a week ago that in the Android 12 CDD there are guidelines on the possibility to clone certain apps such as Messenger, Whatsapp, etc. https://www.xda-developers.com/android-12-clone-profile-native-app-cloning-support/

Has anybody been able to find how exactly you would do that?

Yes, I'd be interested to know as well - seems that the new feature is just in development and not actually available

Agreed. I haven't seen any more news about this since last October, and the last paragraphs in the article made it sound buggy in testing, and not available officially yet at the time:
However, as Mishaal further clarifies, it isn’t clear if the new profile will work in Android 12 out of the box. Creating a Clone profile doesn’t seem to be supported right now and there’s no flow for cloning apps or differentiating them in Android 12. In its current state, the feature seems to be incredibly buggy. As Luca Stefani found out, the Clone profile is seen by the launcher as a work profile and it randomly clones installed apps when created.

At the moment, we don’t have any further information about the new Clone profile. We’ll make sure to let you know as soon as we learn more. Until then, if you wish to install multiple instances of an app on your Pixel device, you can use a third-party app like Parallel Space.
