WhatsApp Enhances User Experience with Multiple Accounts on Android

WhatsApp has introduced a new feature that allows Android users to have two WhatsApp accounts on a single device. This feature was previously in beta testing. It is now being rolled out to users, simplifying the management of personal and work accounts.

The new Multiple Accounts feature streamlines how users manage multiple WhatsApp accounts on one device. It eliminates the hassle of constantly logging in and out or needing to carry two phones. Now, you can seamlessly switch between accounts without any inconvenience.

Setting Up a Second / Multiple WhatsApp Account

To set up a second WhatsApp account on your Android device, you will need a second phone number and SIM card. Alternatively, if your phone supports multi-SIM or eSIM, you can use that. 

The setup process is straightforward:

• Open WhatsApp and access your settings.
• Click on the arrow next to your name.
• Select “Add account.”

Once you’ve added the second account, you can customize privacy and notification settings for each account to tailor your experience.
