WhatsApp Introduces Multi-Account Feature on Android and iOS
WhatsApp users can now use two accounts simultaneously on a single Android or iOS device. This new feature eliminates the need for users to log in and out of multiple accounts, or to use workarounds like dual apps or the WhatsApp Business app.
To take advantage of the multi-account feature, users will need a second phone number and SIM card on their device. Once the secondary number is activated, users can add a second profile through simple on-screen instructions in the Settings menu. Both profiles can be managed independently with separate privacy, notification, and block list settings.
The multi-account feature is being rolled out gradually, so users may not see it available on their device immediately. To check if the feature is available, users can check the Play Store or App Store for pending WhatsApp updates.
WhatsApp has also warned users against downloading and using fake WhatsApp apps. These apps may promise additional features or functionality, but they are not secure and can put users’ privacy at risk. WhatsApp recommends that users only use the official WhatsApp app, and not download imitations or fake versions.
In addition to the multi-account feature, WhatsApp is also working on a number of other updates, including an improved user interface and a new reply bar for images and videos on Android.
