A second Likee account is useful for many creators: some want to separate their personal life from their blog, some run different content themes, and some just test ideas without risking their main profile. The good news is that Likee officially lets you keep several accounts in one app and switch between them with a couple of taps. Let's break down how to create a second account in 2026, how to switch profiles, and what to do if something goes wrong.
Why you need a second Likee account
Before creating a new profile, it helps to know what problem it solves. Most often a second Likee account is created to:
- split content — dances and trends on one account, humor or reviews on another;
- separate private from public — a private profile for friends and a separate blog for your audience;
- test ideas — try new formats without hurting the stats of your main account;
- run a project together — for example, a family or themed channel with a friend;
- have a backup — if the main profile gets restricted, the second one keeps working.
Decide on the goal in advance: it defines the name, design, and promotion strategy of the new account.
How to create a second Likee account: step by step
You don't need a separate app or a Likee clone for this — everything is done inside the standard app:
- Open Likee and go to the "Profile" section (the person icon at the bottom right);
- Tap your name or the settings icon (three lines / gear) at the top;
- Find the "Add account" or "Switch account" option — usually next to the profile name or in settings;
- Choose "Create a new account" and register it with a different phone number, email, or a separate login (Google, Facebook, etc.);
- Pick a new username, add an avatar and a bio — and your second profile is ready.
Important: it's better to register the second account with a different number or email so the profiles aren't tightly linked and switching works correctly.
How to switch between accounts
Once both profiles are added to the app, switching takes seconds and doesn't require re-entering the password:
- Go to your profile;
- Tap the account name at the top of the screen;
- Pick the profile you need from the list — the app switches to it instantly.
This way you can keep several accounts on hand and run them from one phone without logging out each time. Notifications usually come for the active profile, so important accounts are worth checking manually.
Second account on Android and iPhone: is there a difference
The mechanics of creating and switching accounts in Likee are almost identical on both systems — the feature is built into the app itself and doesn't depend on the phone. Minor differences appear only in the button layout and in the fallback options if the native "Add account" is suddenly unavailable.
How to make a second Likee account on Android:
- open Likee, go to "Profile" and open settings (three lines at the top);
- choose "Add account" → "Create new" and register the profile with a different number or email;
- if there's no such option, use the built-in app cloning — on Xiaomi phones it's "Second space" and "App clones", on Samsung it's "Dual Messenger", on Huawei it's "App twin". This launches a second copy of Likee on Android with a separate login.
How to make a second Likee account on iPhone:
- on iPhone the steps are the same — "Profile" → account name at the top → "Add account" → "Create new";
- iOS doesn't support app cloning, so there won't be a second copy of Likee on iPhone — all profiles live inside one app;
- if the account won't add, log out of the current profile and log into the new one manually, or use the Likee web version for some actions.
In most cases the native "Add account" is enough on both Android and iPhone — third-party solutions are rarely needed.
How many accounts can you add on Likee
Likee doesn't publish a hard limit on the number of profiles in one app — in practice users comfortably keep two or three accounts and switch between them from the list. Technically you can add more, but there's a practical ceiling: the more profiles you have, the harder it is to post regularly on each, and "abandoned" accounts get almost no reach from the algorithm anyway.
It's best to keep as many accounts as you can actually maintain: one main profile and one or two themed ones. If you have more than three, it's easier to split them across different phones or number+email pairs so you don't get confused when switching or lose access.
How to run a second account without getting confused
When you have several profiles, the main task is not to mix them up and not to abandon them. A few simple rules help keep everything under control:
- assign each account its own theme — it's easier to come up with content and avoid duplicating videos across profiles;
- check notifications manually — Likee shows alerts for the active profile, so it's worth opening the second account separately to avoid missing comments and follows;
- keep a simple content plan — even a couple of videos a week on each profile beats a burst followed by a month of silence;
- don't log in from other people's devices — frequent logins and logouts from different phones can look like suspicious activity to Likee.
If one of the accounts matters more than the others, it makes sense to invest your main time in it and use the second one for tests and as a backup.
Common problems with a second account
Sometimes running several profiles causes issues. Here are the most typical ones and what to do about them:
- The confirmation code doesn't arrive — check the number/email, wait a couple of minutes, and request the code again; switching networks (Wi-Fi ↔ mobile data) sometimes helps;
- Accounts "merge" — if both profiles use the same login, split them across different numbers or emails;
- It won't switch — update the app to the latest version and restart it;
- The new account barely gets shown — this is normal for an empty profile: it has no history and no social proof, so the algorithm gives it minimal reach.
How to grow a new account quickly
The main challenge of a second account is that it starts from scratch. An empty profile has no followers, likes, or views, so the Likee algorithm shows its videos to a minimal audience and "studies" the reaction. To get out of this dead zone, the account needs basic social proof.
A few steps speed up the start: set up the profile (avatar, name, bio), post videos with trending sounds, use relevant hashtags, and stay active in the first weeks. In addition, a careful boost of likes and followers at the start removes the "zero account" effect — videos get their first engagement signals, and the algorithm is more willing to show them to a live audience. From there, real viewers pick up the growth.
