WhatsApp is revolutionizing user convenience by offering the ability to maintain two active accounts on a single device. This groundbreaking feature allows users to effortlessly switch between two whatsapp accounts on one device without the hassle of logging out or needing an additional phone. Initially, this feature is being introduced on Android, with an imminent release on iOS.
For those who prefer to keep their work and personal lives distinct, this innovation is a game-changer. With both accounts logged in simultaneously, users can effortlessly respond to messages from both profiles on a single device.
WhatsApp underscores that users will still require a second phone number and SIM card to set up the second account. Alternatively, users can opt for phones that support multi-SIM or eSIM technology for a more streamlined process. In the WhatsApp settings, users need to click on an arrow adjacent to their username and select “Add account” to establish the second account.
WhatsApp has been consistently delivering valuable updates to enhance user experience. In May, the company unveiled the capability to use a single account across multiple devices. Recently, it introduced the feature that allows users to control the duration before messages automatically disappear after being sent. Android users also received added security by enabling passkeys for logins.
