Abstract
Various examples for providing multiple instances of a client application in operating systems that limit execution of the client application to a single process are disclosed. A client device can include an operating system natively configured to generate a single process for an execution of the client application on the client device. A client application can be configured to, in the single process, generate sub-processes for execution of separate instances of the client application. The client application can include at least one user interface that permits creation of, termination of, or toggling between various instances of the client application.
