How to start or stop a profile

Multilogin lets you run two types of profiles:

Mobile profiles: use Android cloud phones to run mobile apps on real devices
Browser profiles: use Mimic or Stealthfox cores to run websites safely

Here's how to start or stop them ⬇️

For one profile

Go to the “Profiles” page from the top menu
Use the selector in the left sidebar to switch between “Mobile” and “Browser”
Click “Start” or “Stop” next to a profile

For multiple profiles

Go to the “Profiles” page from the top menu
Use the selector in the left sidebar to switch between “Mobile” and “Browser”
Select several profiles using checkboxes
Click “Start” or “Stop” in the top menu

What happens next

After you start a profile:

Mobile profile: once it opens, billing starts per minute and you’ll see a live feed from a real cloud phone
Browser profile: once it opens, you’ll land on the Multilogin start page where you can check your fingerprint breakdown

Mobile profiles are billed by the minute, so they make the most sense for mobile app-specific work, not general browsing.

After you stop a profile:

Mobile and browser profiles (cloud): your session data syncs automatically to the server
Browser profiles (local): data stays on your device and isn’t accessible elsewhere

If you’re working with a team, stick to cloud profiles so everyone can access the same data. Learn more about storage options in the article Cloud and local storage in Multilogin.
