Fix 1: Turn Off and Turn On Dual Apps
If there’s any bug with the cloned app, deleting it and adding it again might help.
Go to Settings > Apps > Dual Apps and turn off the toggle for the app that shows the error. Tap on OK to confirm. Re-enable the app in Dual Apps and check if the issue is fixed.

Fix 2: Check Permissions for Apps
If the cloned app doesn’t have the necessary permissions to function, you may see the “Permission Denied” error.
Long-tap on the cloned app icon > select App Info > tap on App permissions . Ensure you’ve provided all the necessary permissions.

Fix 3: Use a Third-Party App for Cloning
If the Dual Apps feature isn’t working – you can try using a third-party app like Parallel App or Parallel Space on your device. These apps perform the same functions as the Dual Apps feature on your MIUI device.
