How do apps work on iPhone with Dual SIM? Do apps automatically download to both numbers? Or?

iPhones 13 and higher can use physical SIM (dual or 2) as well as one physical, one eSIM?


How does downloading apps work on a phone with Dual SIM (2 phone numbers)? Do the apps automatically download to both numbers? Or you can select which number you want it to download to? Or?

Apps reside on the phone, not on phone numbers. They will download and use either Wi-Fi or whichever phone number you choose for cellular data in Settings/Cellular. Here is more detail→Using Dual SIM with an eSIM - Apple Support
