create multiple apps from same workspace infect from same Dataset without replicating the dataset multiple times.
only option we have now is to update the app and only one app per workspace can be created which a kind of restrict the workspace usability.
If we can create multiple apps share it with different users without creating multiple workspace ... means same dataset no dataset replication, will save the storage as well.

Currently we are not planning to allow multiple apps to be published from one workspace. Soon we will allow you to discover and use a dataset across workspaces. Once we have this capability, we believe much of the need for multiple apps per workspace will be addressed.

RE: create multiple apps from same workspace

We need to be able to create multiple Apps from a single workspace.

My business has just moved over to premium on the basis that you get everything you have with pro licences but you users don't have to be individually named.

I need to clarify that this isn't strictly the case. With PowerBI premium you can now only share via Apps. Any other form of sharing requires a pro licence. The consequence of this is that you have to share EVERYTHING that resides in a workspace.

In the case of our business we have a data model that produces a set of reports some of which we would like to share with one group of users and some that we would like to share with another. You cannot do that. The only way that you can create this behaviour is by creating a separate workspace with a separate instance of the same data model but just create the report you require in this new workspace.

As a corporate user this is a poor experience and many others businesses will be similarly affected. Power BI Team - you need to have this use case on your radar or you'll have some very unhappy customers very soon. I think the 1 to 1 approach is flawed and should be reconsidered.
