Do you have two WhatsApp accounts and want to use them both on one device at once? Do not scratch your heads logging in and out, as you will soon be able to do so.
WhatsApp users currently have to either carry an extra device or constantly log in and out of accounts to switch between them. The “Dual WhatsApp Account” feature will allow users to seamlessly switch between accounts within the app, making it easier to manage conversations across multiple accounts.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that WhatsApp will soon be introducing a feature that allows users to switch between accounts without having to constantly log out or carry around an extra device. Here are 5 things you need to know about this upcoming feature.
WhatsApp multiple accounts coming first for Android users
Android users will be the first to enjoy the convenience of switching accounts. It is unclear when this feature will be available on other platforms, but a rollout can be expected soon.
You will need two active phone numbers
If you want to set up a second WhatsApp account on the same phone, you will still require a separate phone number and SIM card or a phone that is dual SIM or eSIM.
Setup process is the same as before
To gain access to your second account on another device, you will also need the second phone or its SIM card to receive the one-time passcode that WhatsApp will send via SMS. Once the initial verification is complete, the app will work for both accounts without the need for a second device or SIM.
How do you set up a second WhatsApp account on the same phone
When you receive this feature, open WhatsApp settings, select your profile, and click “Add account” to set up a second account on your phone.
Separate settings for two accounts
Users setting up two accounts on their phones can control their privacy and notification settings separately for each account.
