In the past year, Meta has elevated WhatsApp, introducing several new features, and one of the latest additions is the functionality for “multiple accounts used on one phone.
This recent feature allows users to seamlessly switch between multiple WhatsApp accounts without enduring lengthy login and verification processes. Here’s a breakdown of everything you need to know about this convenient functionality.
In a significant update announced in mid-October 2023, Meta shared the introduction of multi-account functionality through a concise blog post, marking a noteworthy enhancement for many users.
Now, users can effortlessly switch between two distinct WhatsApp accounts and their respective inboxes while staying logged in to the app.
There are specific requirements to leverage this feature: each account necessitates a unique phone number and an active SIM card on your device. This might entail having a phone with dual SIM card slots, but digital solutions like eSIM can also be employed if needed.
Assuming you meet these criteria, setting it up is a breeze.
- Open the WhatsApp app.
- Tap the “Settings” cog in the lower right corner.
- Click or tap the arrow next to your name.
- Select “Add account” and follow the provided instructions to add your second account.
And boom, you now have an active and logged-in second account. It appears that once both accounts are logged in, you can effortlessly switch between them using the same intuitive process. This enhancement signifies a user-friendly stride towards a more versatile WhatsApp experience.
