I’d like to be able to use a single account on both an Android phone and an iPhone (with different phone numbers). Is this possible?

Yes but not at the same time but I could be mistaken.

I believe you can log into both an Android and iOS app at the same time (but not two of the same app). Phone number is irrelevant.

It sounds as though I should be able to do what I need. I use an iPhone normally but travelling off-road on my motorcycle, I use a beat-up rugged Android phone that I don’t mind trashing but which I like to have for payments en-route - so only one phone is used at a time. I also carry it as a backup for my iPhone on regular trips in case I lose the iPhone.

Yep - we support one active session per operating system. I am always logged in to my own account on both my Pixel 2 XL and my iPhone 6S.

Any plans to improve upon this and remove the limitation?

</div>

If I had the app on 2 android phones and I signed in on the 2nd while still on the first what would happen?  
Would it simply log me off?  
Thank

Yeah you will be logged out from the previous device.

+1 on seeing this limitation be removed. Currently carry two iPhones (work/home) and would love to be able to access Monzo from both devices

I have the same issue. Would be great to have it on both work & personal iPhones. A WebApp wouldn’t hurt either!

Something like [web.monzo.com](http://web.monzo.com)?

Would also like to see support for multiple devices. Starling support being logged into 3 devices at a time. I carry 2 android devices, one personal and one work and having to log back in when I switch from one to the other every time can be a pain

I don’t really see the point in 1 iOS and 1 Android but not 2 on iOS or 2 on Android. It looks like a throwback from development days where staff tested the app on the two different operating systems.

Wouldn’t it be simpler to just allow 2 overall sessions on either iOS or Android or both?

I would like to be able to sign in on two different android Devices. Currently I am using Bluestacks to manage my Monzo account on my PC since it doesn’t have a full web interface…

+1 on Bluestacks. Only way. Good back up if your phone is stolen or lost.  
Works well for Revolut, Monzo, Curve and Starling none of which have full web access.

</div>

it’s 2025 and this feature is not present. If you are logged in in your iPad and then try to open the app from your phone you will be logged out from the iPad and not only that, it will trigger a security validation to make sure you are who you said you are.

Would it be possible to allow a single account to be used in 2 devices without being logged out please? Wise does support this

It’s really annoying, I have accounts with 5 other banks all of which support being logged in to two devices (which are the same OS, I know you can have 1 Android and 1 iOS on Monzo)
