While I've yet to test this method personally, there are reports on Reddit that it indeed works.įor now, it would seem Niantic has no interest in reverting the recent change to the Galaxy Store version of Pokémon GO, so from this point forward, I would imagine it's going to grow increasingly difficult to work around. Ideally, this install method should keep both apps separate, even if they are the same version, thus allowing users to sign in with different accounts in two unconnected apps. All you need to do is install the Play Store version of Pokémon GO, sign-in with your main account, then sideload a separate Pokémon GO APK into your Secure Folder, and install and sign-in with a secondary account. Luckily, a workaround still exists for those that wish to run two separate instances of Pokémon GO on the same device, which works through Samsung's Secure Folder app. This, of course, mitigates any instances of cheating where users would run both apps at the same time, so it's a tough call to say whether or not this change is warranted, though Niantic assuredly didn't do itself any favors by not notifying the public of this change, leaving users to discover the issue on their own.
Now that the separate log-in option is gone, families once again have to juggle accounts when using a single device. So this change is understandably inconvenient when you consider that players used to have the option to run two separate instances of the app from two different stores. This simplified the login process so that users didn't have to constantly sign out of their accounts just to let someone else sign-in on the same device.
Apparently, many of these users were playing the Galaxy Store version with a secondary account, typically for a child of a parent already signed into the Play Store version. Galaxy Store reviews for Pokémon GO have taken a nosedive over the last few days, with fans voicing their concerns with one-star reviews.
