What are the options for running Android emulators on an iPhone (iOS 16.5)?

You can use Jailbreaking and Custom Emulators but proceed with Caution.

Some users suggest jailbreaking your iPhone and installing third-party emulators like “Cider” or “iDroid” (Android-on-iOS concepts). While these were experimental projects years ago, most are abandoned or unstable.

Jailbreaking your device on iOS 16.5 is also difficult and risky, especially with Apple’s increasing security layers.

Even if you do manage to install such software, performance and compatibility will be limited. Games with online checks may block access or behave erratically.

Developers or QA teams considering this path for advanced testing might instead use LambdaTest to simulate Android environments in a stable, compliant way, allowing them to run dual-account test cases without jailbreaking.
