The latest WhatsApp beta update for iOS is said to give users the ability to add and switch between multiple accounts on a single device . It comes over a year later . With version 25.2.10.70 for iOS, users have a choice when adding a second account to the app. WABetaInfo Reports: You can set it up as a standalone main account or “scan a QR code to link the new account as a companion.” The update is available now to beta testers through Apple’s TestFlight program.
On Android, running two accounts on WhatsApp at the same time requires a dual SIM situation as each account must have its own phone number. WhatsApp does offer another app, WhatsApp Business, that allows users to set up a second account using a different phone number, but that still means switching between two apps. The Android update and what’s currently being tested for iOS will allow users with two phone numbers to have all their conversations in one app.
